Indovino Venezia are objects of antiquarian and collectible Italian glassware, dating roughly to the first decade of the 20th century. Decorated with acid etching, wheel engravings, or details and finishes themed accordingly. The glasses have a slightly flared shape (inverted cone trunk) resting on a thick, robust base with a ring. The decoration is in Baroque style with the engraving of a lady with a cavalier. Vetreria SIVA, founded and based in Venice during the 20th century (producing especially active and appreciated in the first half of the century, around the 1910s-1930s), Mario Indovino’s company specialized in creating artistic glass and very high-quality place settings. SIVA was famous for its prowess in acid engraving and hand finishes. This technique allowed achieving that characteristic cameo-like, velvety, and slightly blurred effect, perfect for plant figures, foliate motifs, and dynamic subjects (such as the juggler/dancer on the balloon goblet). The pieces bore the original paper label: an oval or rectangular label with the inscription SIVAM INDOVINO VENEZIA. Highly sought after in the antique and collectible market of fine artistic glass.
