AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An exceptional and rare piece of Mid-Century Italian glass art: a heavy mirrored crystal "svuotatasche" (vide-poche / valet tray), designed and manufactured by the founders Pierangelo Gallotti and Luigi Radice for Gallotti&Radice, circa 1960.
Crafted from high-thickness solid crystal glass in a stunning "Verde Nilo" (Nile Green) hue, this piece features beautifully hand-ground cold-cut concave circles (molato), creating a mesmerizing lens effect.
The bottom features a mirrored finish, which brilliantly reflects the light through the green crystal.
Historical Importance & Authentication:While this iconic design is frequently misattributed by galleries and auction houses to Max Ingrand for Fontana Arte due to their close historical ties and identical production styles in the 1950s/60s, this specific piece features its original, authentic Gallotti&Radice maker's label.
This makes it a highly documented, verified, and coveted item for serious collectors of Murano and Milanese art glass, eliminating any "attributed to" speculation.
