About the Item
This singular, breathtaking beaker is an exemplary artifact of Murano’s mid-century mastery, showcasing the enduring opulence of the Venetian glass tradition. Hand-blown on the famed island of Murano circa the 1960s, this vessel is a testament to the revival of classic 18th-century techniques, rendered with the unparalleled quality expected of the island’s most prestigious furnaces.
Artistry and Technique
Color Palette: The glass features a deep, luminous Emerald Green hue—a sophisticated, jewel-toned saturation that provides a dramatic and rich canvas for the intricate decoration.
Embellishment: The surface is lavishly adorned with meticulous hand-painted polychrome enamel work and extensive, heavy 24-Karat Gold Gilding. The quality of this embellishment signifies a high level of artistic dedication and technical skill.
Motif: The central scene is a meticulously detailed Rococo court figure in period dress, rendered with painterly precision. This elegant figure is encircled by elaborate gold scrolling and delicate white enamel accents, infusing the piece with theatrical grace and historical depth.
Aesthetic: The beaker perfectly captures the spirit of Venetian Revival, transforming a functional form into a sculptural, decorative work of art suitable for the most discerning collector.
Condition and Presentation
This rare beaker is presented in museum-quality vintage condition. The integrity of the delicate hand-painted enameling and the brilliance of the extensive gold leaf remain remarkably preserved, exhibiting only the subtle, beautiful variances inherent in authentic hand-crafted glass.
A true statement piece, its luminous presence and rich detail make it an ideal focal point. It is perfectly suited for display in a curated glass cabinet, accentuating a luxurious drinks setting, or serving as a magnificent desk accessory in a refined interior.
