1960s Murano Glass Platter Italy

ALFREDO BARBINI "For me, giving form to the mass that glows from the heat is a joy. I do it naturally. What I like the most about the work in the furnace is the firethe element that changes the material. I always analyze the harmony of the shapes, their softness, their smoothness and their delicacy. I always have this desire to caress the glass - to shape it with my hands - the one thing that is obviously impossible....." (Olnick and Spanu). A sculptural glass basket, a dynamic Barbini piece. This example features gold powder encased between the clear and blue layers of bullicante glass. An impressive piece from this legendary primo maestro. SOLD
