About the Item
A large and heavy glass vase, made by Alfredo Barbini for the retailer Pauli
Cie. Designed by Napoleone Martinuzzi in 1962. Made of clear glass with a pink inlay, the entire surface with a matte martelure finish. Marked with a vintage Pauli label on the base. The sculptural vase is an archetype of 20th-century Murano glass art and one of Napoleone Martinuzzi's most famous designs.
Napoleone Martinuzzi was born in Murano in 1892, the son of a glassblower. He attended the Belle Arti school in Venice and was a member of the Ca' Pezzaro secessionist group. In 1921, he became director of the Murano Museum and in 1925, artistic director at Venini. Martinuzzi's work for Venini is known for its use of experimental techniques with opaque and semi-transparent glass (pulegoso, lattimo, calcedonio). His use of classical antique forms in bright colors set new standards for Murano glass. In 1932, Martinuzzi left Venini and founded Zecchin-Martinuzzi, but the company only lasted a few years. In the post-war period, he worked for Seguso Arte Vetro, Vetreria Cenedese, Alfredo Barbini, and Pauly
C., among others.

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. His parents were members of families, which had been prominent in the glassmaking industry on Murano for generations as glassblowers and beadmakers.
Napoleone Martinuzzi
Napoleone Martinuzzi was born on May 31, 1892, in Murano.
Active as a sculptor in Rome at the beginning of the 20th century, Martinuzzi came back to Murano in 1925 to found the Vetri Soffiati Muranese Venini and Company, along with Paolo Venini and Francesco Zecchin. At this company, Martinuzzi was the art director.
In 1932, Martinuzzi left the firm and founded the Zecchin Martinuzzi Vetri Artistici e Mosaici along with Francesco Zecchin. Between 1951 and 1952, he became the designer for Arte Vetro di Alberto Seguso. He is still considered one of the finest Murano glass designers of all time. Martinuzzi died on May 15, 1977, in Venice.

Alfredo Barbini Murano Art Glass Vase 1971
A vintage Murano glass vase designed and produced by Alfredo Barbini in 1971. The vase is made of mouth-blown clear glass and has a quadruple opening. Signed on the base with engraved company signature 'A. Barbini' and company label. The vase is an authentic piece of 20th century Murano art glass and a rare work by Alfredo Barbini.
Alfredo Barbini (1912 – 2007) attended to the Abate Zanetti glass design school at the age of ten and worked at the S.A.I.A.R. Ferro Toso, Cristalleria di Murano and at the Zecchin-Martinuzzi furnace. In the early 1930s he became master craftsman at V.A.M.S.A. He executed works designed by the painter Luigi Scarpa Croce, such as the dish with fishes exhibited at the 1942 Biennale di Venezia. In 1946 he moved to Gino Cenedese & C as partner and director. At the 1948 Biennale, he exhibited an outstanding series of sculptures with the surface corroded with acid: “Collasso”, “Putto”, “Diana Nera”. In 1950 he started his own glass workshop the Vetreria Alfredo Barbini. Several works of Barbini are of outstanding importance for the muranese glass art as there are the Sasso, Scavo, Inciso, Sommerso or the Ad Agnelli objects.
