LABELLED Seguso Dalla Venezia Murano Glass Bowl

Description

Here is a wonderful 1950/60's Venetian biomorphic glass ashtray bowl/dish, made on the island of Murano, near Venice, Italy. This piece was made by Seguso Dalla Venezia and still bears the original factory label. In a stunning combination of opalescent blue glass cased in clear glass. Seguso Dalla Venezia was founded around 1949-51 by Francesco Martinuzzi and Guido Seguso (previously both partners of Seguso Vetri d'Arte), and possibly others. According to the very limited information found online, the factory was open until around 1965. Other workers at the factory include Pietro Scaramal, Elio Raffaeli, Lucio Fontana and Gino Salmistrari.
