Murano Mid Century ArtGlass Aquarium Block c.1960s
In General
A beautiful hand blown Murano Mid Century art glass aquarium block - paperweight or sculpture designed by Alfredo Barbini for Cenedese, Italy c.1960s. It is a stunning piece showcasing incredible Murano glass hand blowing craftsmanship.
This Murano glass aquarium shows an enchanting 3D underwater scene with a polychrome tropical fish swimming in amongst delightful sea grasses. The fish shimmers with gold foil decoration - all in a beautiful setting of sea grasses with the fish trailing bubbles - a special and complex technique that Murano used for these pieces. The fish suspended in glass looks as if it is swimming across the room!
For Millennia, Murano glass and the manufacturing of it, has been an integral to the Venetian islands in Italy. It is famous for very high quality glass making and craftsmanship. Some of the companies that own historical glass factories in Murano are amongst the most important brands of glass in the world. One of the companies is Cenedese who made this aquamarine glass block.
Cool Mid Century Murano objects are the most sought after and especially a good piece like this one, patterned with swirls and stripes of coloured filigree glass - making it a point of decorative interest in any interior.
