About the Item
Comedy and tragedy pair of Murano glass masks on stand. Venini
Co., the renowned Murano glasshouse, produced this striking pair of “comedy and tragedy” masks in 1960, showcasing the firm’s mastery of sculptural glass. Each mask is crafted from richly colored Murano glass formed over a metal armature, creating expressive contours that evoke the classical theatrical allegory of joy and sorrow. The contrasting hues—vibrant green for comedy and deep black for tragedy—enhance the emotional duality at the heart of the design. Mounted on elegant metal stands, the masks function as both artistic objects and dramatic statements within an interior. The green mask measures 17 × 17 × 39 cm (6.7 × 6.7 × 15.3 in), while the black mask measures 13 × 15 × 28 cm (5.1 × 5.9 × 11 in).
