About the Item

Rare Art Glass Vase by Giulio Radi for A.Ve.M. Murano 1950s A rare art glass vase of the 'Reazioni policrome' series designed by Giulio Radi for Arte Vetraria Muranese (A.Ve.M.), Murano, in the 1950s. Thick, mouth-blown dark blue glass with silver and gold foil decorations and murrine inclusions. A rare example of the outstanding glass artistry of Murano in the 20th century. Arte Vetraria Muranese (A.Ve.M.) was founded in 1931 by Antonio Ferro, his sons Egidio and Ottone, Galliano Ferro, and Emilio Nason. In the early years, the company mainly produced mass-market products for large international importers. Designs by Vittorio Zecchin were among the early products. Aldo Nason also worked for A.Ve.M. in the 1930s. Represented at the Venice Biennale and the Milan Triennale from the very beginning, the company constantly adapted its production to contemporary trends and, in keeping with the spirit of the times, produced solid glass figures, pulegoso glasses, and thick-walled glasses. In 1939, Giulio Radi, born in Murano, joined the company as artistic director. Under his leadership, the company explored the reaction of metal oxides to glass and the use of gold and silver powder in combination with very simple shapes. This work was ended by Radi's death in 1952. In addition to Radi's designs, the 'Anse Volanti' series designed by Giorgio Ferro, which was exhibited at the Venice Biennale in 1952, is one of the manufacturer's outstanding products. In 1955, Galliano Ferro left the company to open his own glassworks. At that time, painters Luigi Scarpa Croce and Anzolo Fuga were working with A.Ve.M. Scarpa Croce designed asymmetrical works with abstract decorations, combining lattimo glass with murrine or multicolored glass pastes. He was supported in this by the experimental creativity of master glassblower Luciano Ferro. Anzolo Fuga designed many well-known series such as Finestre, Transennato, Sfumato, and the A Canne series. The company still exists today, but production ceased many years ago. artfour is an owner-managed trading company dealing with fancy pieces of Murano and Scandinavian art glass.
