Carlo Moretti founded his own company in 1958, and was later joined by Giovanni Moretti, his brother. Carlo Moretti produced colourful designs in a marbled pattern, as well as a range of vases and bowls with a matt finish known as Satinato. The same range can also be found in a glossy finish. Later they began production of drink ware glasses, along with more decorative vases. The company is still active today.
Probably the most famous and popular range by Carlo Moretti, this marbled range comes in a variety of colours. Other marbled ranges by other factories are often wrongly described as Carlo Moretti in online sales listings, particularily those by Vetreria Barbieri and Vetreria Artigiana Sanminiatello, both factories from Empoli, Italy. The marbled designs are noticeably different, but the easiest way to spot the difference is the rim finish. Carlo Moretti marbled products always have a flat ground rim with chamfered edge, whereas those from Empoli have a rounded, fire polished rim.
