Description from the seller
Beautiful set of 6 glass bowls produced by IVV in Italy.
The bowls are made of decorated glass with an irregular surface, exceptionally bright and very pleasant to the touch. They have a very classic and elegant design, they fit any kind of dish, adding a touch of great class.
IVV is one of the main and very few glassworks remaining that were born in Italy, developed there, and still produce in the Bel Paese. The company was founded in 1952 in San Giovanni Valdarno, in the heart of Tuscany, by a group of master glassmakers, whose constant objective has always been to guarantee a product whose artisanal character combines the tradition and culture of their land with creative and constant innovation, inspiring a unique, authentic, up-to-date and Italian style, and mixing different textures and optics with the constant and indispensable artisanal quality.
Transparency, brilliance and resonance are the terms that characterize the high quality of IVV products. This result is achieved by choosing only refined, selected raw materials, which are worked at very high temperatures to eliminate all impurities.
With iconic products that anticipated trends and fashions: from the 1950s to the 1990s, thanks to the industrial scale given to its production activity, IVV was a pioneer in making blown glass products for the table, buffet, and home decor accessible to a broader market, whereas before they were accessible to only a few as an expression of elite craftsmanship.
This path has been pursued without ever renouncing either expressing its own personal creativity, drawing from the heritage represented by its master glassmakers, or the quality, still today IVV’s flagship product: from the transparency and brilliance of its glass, to the color imparted throughout the volume of the glasses (which is so important not only for the health of users but also for maintenance issues in hotels and restaurants).
Excellent condition, measurements 5.5 x 16.5 cm. Some bowls still have the IVV sticker attached.
Seller's Story
My name is Riccardo. I recently graduated in Art History from the University of Florence and I am passionate about porcelain. From tableware to artistic vases, from figurines to tea and coffee sets, I am fascinated by the mastery and creativity of great artisans and designers who manage to shape this fragile material, transforming a rough mass into masterpieces with a story to tell. During my years at university I began to become interested in the history of nineteenth- and twentieth-century tableware; today, every day, I deal with prestigious porcelain pieces that always have something to say to me and to those who purchase them. I love that every day I can discover more about the objects I find while traveling around Italy, always learning something new. I always try to convey to my clients this passion I have for the objects I sell, certain that each of them has a story to tell: that of the creator, that of the one who preserved it, and that of the person who will give it a new life.
