Rony PLESL for B.A.G. (Barovier & Toso) – Rare Monumental Centerpiece in Art Glass - 1980s-1990s
Description of the Object
Splendid and exceptional monumental centerpiece/easel in mouth-blown art glass, born from the exclusive international collaboration between Murano excellence and the centuries-old Bohemian tradition.
This masterpiece combines the bold color palette of late 20th-century Modern Vintage with museum-quality craftsmanship.
The main body is characterized by a vibrant satin-yellow tone, bright and opalescent, which magnificently contrasts with a decorative red-hot filament core attached to the flared base.
An object with extraordinary visual impact, capable of commanding attention in any design environment.
The Designer:
Rony Plesl Signed with a pointed mark on the base "Design R. Plesl". Rony Plesl (born 1965) is today one of the most acclaimed and revolutionary glass sculptors and designers globally, known for his monumental installations at the Venice Biennale.
This work represents a fundamental testimony of his 1990s production, a golden period when he redefined the shapes of European art glass by marrying formal clarity with organic and bold details.
The Brand and the Link with Barovier & Toso
The object still bears the original B.A.G. label (Bohemia Art Glass).
B.A.G. was the prestigious and tightly controlled division of the historic Murano furnace Barovier & Toso (the oldest in Italy and among the most famous in the world).
This partnership allowed Italian design projects and the great authors’ designs to be shaped by Czech master glassmakers, giving rise to limited editions that are today highly coveted in the international collectibles market.
