Description from the seller
Splendid "Goto" in Murano Glass – Cobalt Blue, Yellow, Gold Leaf and Millefiori – Italy, 1980s
This splendid object is a great classic of Murano tradition, commonly known as a "Goto da fornace" (furnace goto). The piece stands out for the typical and complex Venetian artisanal workmanship, characterized by a body of blown glass with strong color contrasts between deep cobalt blue and yellow-amber splotches, enhanced by gold leaf veneers and fine brown glass threads arranged in a lattice. At the center of the composition, the inclusion of a fascinating Millefiori Millefiori (concentric) in white, black and blue tones stands out.
Each "goto" is a unique, unrepeatable work of art, completely hand-shaped by master glassmakers in Murano furnaces. These models are traditionally created "alla prima" (at first), without the use of molds.
Features of the Artifact
Technique and Materials: Textured surface with cobalt blue decorations, warm yellow tones, gold leaf inclusions, and a central millefiori. At the base, the characteristic concentric spiral of the break point from the pontello is clearly visible.
Uniqueness: The slightly irregular and asymmetrical shape is authentic testimony to the hot manual workmanship, guaranteeing absolute uniqueness and artisanal value.
Use: Historically born as a prestigious table or collectible glassware (highly sought after in multicolor sets), this artifact is today frequently used as a refined and original interior decorative vase.
