Artisti Barovier, Vetreria Artistica

blown and applied glass

Marina Barovier, Venice
Acquired from the above by the present owner

Overall very good condition with no damage or restoration detected. There are several very minor surface abrasions to the extremities commensurate with age and use. There is a vertical elongated shallow open air bubble in the making to the inner top rim that is approximately ¾ inches in length. Please note that the color in the catalogue and online photograph is not accurate to reality. In reality the blue elements are a pale blue with a very slight green tint. The pink trails are slightly paler in tonality. The abstract applied decoration on the vase has an excellent sense of flow and movement, in our opinion the vase is an excellent example of the technique.
