Likely produced in the 1940s or 1950s, these works exemplify the modernist innovation of Barovier, who, as artistic director of the firm (from 1926 to 1972), revolutionized the Murano glassmaking tradition, blending classical elegance with sculptural forms and cutting-edge techniques. Their rarity stems not only from their limited artisanal production—each piece is mouth-blown by master glassmakers—but also from their historical context. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
