Description from the seller
Lotto of 8 Flute Glasses "Light Whisper" – Nason Moretti Factory, Murano
Overview of the Work
We propose a refined set of 8 flute-model glasses in Murano glass, an example of excellence in Venetian production in the 20th century. The line, characterized by a slender silhouette and extreme lightness of material, is traceable to the historic Nason Moretti furnace, famous for revolutionizing the concept of "feather glass" in the postwar period.
Technical Features and Manufacture
Production Period: Approximately 1950 – 1970. This design reflects the modernist taste of the mid-century, where the purity of crystal meets Venetian Baroque decoration in a minimalist key.
Blowing Technique: The drinkware features a thickness of one millimeter, achieved by free-blown glass. The precision of the trumpet-shaped form testifies to the high level of mastery of the glass masters of the era.
The Stem: The distinguishing element of the set is the button-stem with a "morfisa" (hot-working) finish. The central node, with a spiral decoration (tortiglione), encloses inside a precious 24kt gold leaf, skillfully applied to create a suspended-light effect.
Trumpet Base: The base is of the "hollow" or trumpet type, a configuration that requires perfect weight distribution to guarantee stability despite the thin wall thickness.
The set is presented in excellent vintage condition. No glass fibers, nicks, or opacifications are found (sick glass). The brilliance of the gold is perfectly preserved inside the glass node.
TECHNICAL NOTE FOR THE COLLECTOR
Mandatory Maintenance Protocol:
Please note that, given the ultra-thin nature of the crystal and the delicacy of the traditional gold leaf decoration applied, these items are not compatible with mechanical cleaning in a dishwasher.
Chemical action of modern detergents and high temperatures can compromise the molecular stability of thin glass and alter the luster of the gold leaf.
Washing: Exclusively by hand, using lukewarm water and neutral soap.
Drying: It is recommended to use a linen cloth or soft microfiber to avoid mechanical shocks to the stem or the possibility of removing the gold plating!!!!
Height 21.5 cm Ø mouth 6.8 cm Base 6.3 cm.
