Barovier & Toso Large Murano Cordonato d'Oro Gold Leaf Pink Glass Vase

Description

Here is a wonderful large 1950/60's Venetian glass vase, made on the island of Murano, near Venice, Italy. This piece was made by Barovier & Toso, part of the Cordonato d'Oro range. Very similar pieces can be seen in the book 'Italian Glass' by Leslie Pina, pages 31 - 32. In a stunning combination of reddish pink & clear cased glass, with loads of gold leaf inclusions encased in the glass. Still has the Venetian retailer label on the base, which reads "Casa del Regalo Bortoli, Venezia". At the time of listing I currently have two of these, originally bought as a pair, but listing separately due to slight size and colour difference.

Size

Measures approx 9 inches tall by 4.5 inches in diameter at widest point.
