About the Item
Vulcano glass sculpture by Alfredo Barbini, Murano, 1957. Sometimes called Volcano. Signed "A.Barbini" on the base (see photo). Measures: Height 17.13"(43.5 cm), width 11.42" (29cm), depth 3.16" (8 cm) the body, 5.51" (14 cm) the base. This Alfredo Barbini's sculpture is one of the most beautiful vulcanos I have ever seen. Nothing flashy, no acid drop color. These red, green and amethyst blown glass craters are very comfortable with their period. They are inserted in a thick glass plaque with a slightly undulating surface. The smoked part (in Murano they say Alfredo Barbini invented the smoked glass because he loved dark colors) on the left evokes lava, the turquoise blue the sky (or the sea). This last effect is a characteristic of the vulcano pieces by Alfredo Barbini (not always). This piece has been chosen to illustrate the catalogue front page of the Porte d'Auteuil contemporary art fair (Paris, 2003).

Alfredo Barbini
Alfredo Barbini (1912–2007), a glass artist born in 1912 on the islands of Murano in the lagoon of Venice, Italy, was one of Murano's leading figures of the 20th century.
