Absolutely Stunning Set of Rare Long Neck Murano Glass Lamps. Green opaline with 24 carat gold flecks rolled into the glass, Avventurina. Aventurine is the name given to a Venetian glassmaking technique developed in 16th century Murano, at the heart of the Italian glassmaking tradition. It includes countless particles of gold within its mass which are minute copper crystals with copper as its basic colouring agent. Metal flecks are embedded in clear glass to reflect light. Copper, metallic silicon and other metal oxides are added to create a shimmery, metallic look. Finally they are adorned with a hand painted gilt rose motif and a blown glass black dot applique. Mounted on brass and wood plinth base.
*These may have been a custom design, these are one of a kind.
Until the first half of the 70s, Murano glass producers were not accustomed to signing the objects they produced.
One of the exceptions was the Compagnia di Venezia and Murano - Pauly & C . - which since the early years of the last century, occasionally applied an engraving that represented a crown over the letters CVM.
Furthermore, the signatures of the Artisti Barovier (AB Ligatured) can now and then be found on "murrine", as well as the engraved signs of Ferro Toso Barovier , A.V.E.M. and Seguso Vetri d'Arte.
Acid stamp signatures were regularly used by Venini & Co. and M.V.M. Cappellin & C . after 1925, when Venini and Cappellin separated - presumably to distinguish the very similar production of the two companies.
Even here, however, signatures were by no means employed as a matter of course.
The surface structure of the glassware often made acid etching impossible, but in any case signatures do not seem to have been considered a serious matter.
Pieces are comparatively often unsigned. The lack of a signature on Venini glassware should certainly not be taken to indicate that pieces had been classified as second choice.
The other glassworks signed pieces only occasionally up to about mid 1970s, mostly in the form of a dedication on gift or on the occasion of special exhibitions.
Handwritten artists’ signatures are generally diamond-point engraved.
All factories generally employed stickers on their glassware, in the nature of things, only few of these have survived.
Their value in attributing the glassware is limited, since they can be easily be added later or exchanged.
The current sticker for instance, would be often applied to older glassware taken from stock at the time of sale.
The same is true in more recent times of engraved signatures done as special favors.
Caution is advisable with engraved signatures of glassware of the 1950s and 1960s. They were often added with intent to defraud, in order to increase the value of the piece.
Usually dental drills with flexible drives were employed for this.
Such signatures can be relatively easily identified with a magnifying glass, the impression have an evenly round profile.
Fake signatures are more difficult to identify when made with vibro engravers (which hit sequences of small dots in the surface of the glass). As these machines were also employed by glassworks, albeit only in the 1960s (the machines themselves have generally been available since the mid-1950s).
Another matter are the imitations and forgeries of glassware by the leading factories that, provided with the respective signatures, have been appearing more and more often on the market since mid 1980s and have been causing some confusion among collectors.
Imitations of acid stamped signatures of the common Venini type are found particularly often of forged pieces based on designs of Bianconi , as are engraved signatures of Ermanno Toso and Ercole Barovier .
The samples of signatures are taken from pieces of the collection Steinberg Foundation.
