About the Item
I am a big fan of the Alfredo Barbini Cube series - the collection of Murano glass works characterized by his hand-blown cubic shapes, each with their irregular openings. These two vases - one tall and one cubic - date from around 1972. The tall vase is exceptionally weighty and both vases have a distinctive hand-blown opening. The cubic vase is signed Barbini on the base and the tall vase has its original sticker. Alfredo Barbini (1912-2007) was a master of Murano glass and known for his innovative designs and artisanal techniques, significantly influencing Venetian glass art. (Please note in some photos you will also see the wonderful organic Barbini bowl which is sold seprately and available on the website.)

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.

Located in Florence, Tuscany
A set of seven hand-blown iridescent deep blue/green leaf bowls by Alfredo Barbini, Ermenegildo Ripa, Murano, circa 1950.
