Platter (3) - Murano glass - All Murano

Topset of 3 Vintage Murano Tutti Frutti Bowls – Including 2 Large Models (610g & 511g)

In the 1950s, an exceptionally beautiful, varied and heavy set of three hand-blown vintage art glass bowls (vide poches / ashtrays) from Murano, Italy.

Made in the iconic "Tutti Frutti" / Oriente style, a world-famous design attributed to Dino Martens for the glassworks A.Ve.M. (Arte Vetraria Muranese), circa the 1950s. This is not a standard set; the collection includes two rarer, large and extra heavy models.

Each piece has an organic, undulating free form and is very richly filled with molten murrine (eyes), intricate zanfirico net-like threads and a stunning layer of glittering aventurine (silver foil) that reflects light beautifully.

Specifications Per Bowl: Large Multicolor 'Eye' Model (Heaviest Top Piece): Beautiful, very dense structure with a lot of detailed murrine.
Diameter: 14 cm Height: 6 cm Weight: no less than 610 g.
Large Model with Green/Orange Star Pattern: Generous, deep form with a star-shaped radiating pattern. Diameter: 14.5 cm Height: 6 cm Weight: 511 g.

Ruby Red Model: Classic model with a deep red transparent base and colorful accents. Diameter: 12 cm Height: 5 cm Weight: 500 g.

The set is in beautiful vintage condition. The top sides, inner sides and the wavy rims of all three bowls are completely intact and glossy. The glass retains its original fire-polish. Large Multicolor Model (610g): Fully intact, the underside is perfectly smooth and polished.

Large Green/Orange Model (511g): See photos; bottom is damaged, including the underside. Ruby Red Model (500g): Beautiful top side. There is damage on the underside as shown in the photo. This is, when displayed, obviously completely hidden and the bowl stands stably. All three bowls show light, normal edge nicks/scratches on the bottom consistent with an age of over 70 years (proof of age and authenticity).
