Vetro Artistico Veneziano Murano Glass Aventurine Bowl

Description

This is a magnificent 1950's/60's Venetian freeform glass bowl / ashtray, made on the island of Murano, near Venice, Italy. These bowls are often found with red + gold labels which read "Vetro Artistico Veneziano". In a stunning combination of clear & opaline white encased glass, with silver leaf inclusions, golden coloured copper aventurine and multicoloured mottled/speckled canes. Other bowls with the same style of mottled canes can be found with AVEM labels, see here and here. For this reason, it is most likely that this range was made by the AVEM factory, for distribution through Vetro Artistico Veneziano.

Please note: the plastic stand is for display purposes only and is not included.
