Alfredo Barbini (1912–2007), a glass artist born in 1912 on the islands of Murano in the Venetian Lagoon, Italy, was one of Murano’s prominent figures of the 20th century. His parents were members of families that had been prominent in the glassmaking industry on Murano for generations as glassblowers and bead makers.
This exquisite classic Murano bullicante art glass bowl features a quilted swirling pattern that showcases the controlled bubbles and gold dust aventurine in the lilac (lavender/light purple) background, complemented by a polished pontil.
This Venetian Freeform biomorphic glass bowl/ashtray is a stunning combination of lavender opalescent glass with gold leaf flecks. Handblown with controlled bubbles, it exudes an exceptional quality.
Originally part of a private collection, this piece was acquired in New York City in 1956.
