Description from the seller
“Milan inspires it, Murano shapes it. Sip the inimitable.”
Against the backdrop of the Duomo’s spires, in the beating heart of the design capital, a secret collaboration was born, destined to make history.
The celebrated and ultra-exclusive Milanese cocktail bar “Sora Musra” commissioned the historic Vetreria Artistica Emmedue of Murano to create a work of liquid art. The brief?
To translate the vibrant energy, sophisticated elegance, and spirit of the Milanese aperitivo into the age-old tradition of Venetian glassblowing.
The result is an extremely limited run of artistic glasses, used for just one summer night to serve the Signature Cocktails Murano/Milan Special Edition. Each piece is one of a kind: its stem is a triumph of colors, murrine, and miniature sculptures supporting an elegant bowl designed to bring out the perlage of the finest sparkling wines and signature cocktails.
- The glass on the right: “Homage to Picasso” (or “The Guardian”)
The stem looks just like a small living sculpture. The two blue circular elements are positioned exactly like two wide-open eyes watching those raising a glass, while the orange and yellow central section recalls the elongated profile of a Cubist nose.
- The glass on the left: “The Geometric Incalmo” (or “The Cyclops’ Eye”)
The central decoration on the stem forms a large triangular ring, edged with small radial protrusions (called mura or punte in the furnace). This structure recalls a large, geometric central eye, almost like a tribal or Futurist mask.
Both belong to the splendid category of “Venetian Tipetti,” reimagined in a modern, surrealist style, where the stem is no longer merely a support but becomes the true star of the work of art.
Today, these masterpieces leave Milan’s private terrace to become part of your collection. It’s not just a glass; it’s the story of an unforgettable night, captured in art glass.
Item: Pair of art aperitivo glasses / collectible flutes.
Finish and Origin: Authentic Murano glass, hand-blown by Vetreria Artistica Emmedue Murano.
Edition: Special collaboration with Murano/Milan cocktail bar Sora Musra I.
Condition: Excellent (like new, display pieces from the event - SEE PHOTOS)
Polychrome stems with murrine details, geometric and figurative sculptures, and deep cobalt-blue glass bases.
Why Make an Offer?
Pieces unavailable through traditional sales channels. Perfect as a standout feature in a design showcase or for a private aperitivo that will leave your guests speechless.
Seller's Story
Welcome to our Catawiki store. Our journey in online sales began back in 2004, driven by a clear vision: creating online auctions dedicated to high-value objects.
Today, more than twenty years later, we carry forward that exact same vision. We are proud to have remained a small, family-run business, yet operating with the solidity and scale of major industry professionals: each year, we welcome more than 100 new clients, purchase over 150 lots, and select between 3,000 and 5,000 unique items to offer you.
Our commitment is reflected in everything we do, from the initial find to the final delivery to your doorstep:
• A Purchase with Social Value: Buying from us means securing a great deal while actively supporting the future of young Italian students. We collaborate closely with 3 graphic design and advertising schools in Milan, Bergamo, and Lecco.
We invest our time and expertise to teach these students the secrets of online sales, professional photography, and marketing. By choosing us, you are tangibly contributing to their education and career paths.
• Field Research and Discovery: For years, we have been personally scouting the most remote locations across Lombardy to find unique pieces, rarities, oddities, and mid-century modern design.
• We Invest Our Own Capital: We do not sell on consignment. We invest our own capital upfront to purchase and restore every single item, taking on all the risks ourselves.
• Direct Dealings with No Intermediaries: We manage every single price personally.
This allows us to eliminate third-party costs and ensure you get the best possible profit margin as a buyer or collector.
• Meticulous Restoration and Quality Control: We get our hands dirty. Every item is carefully restored and verified with an obsessive eye for detail before going up for auction.
• Secure and Eco-Friendly Shipping: To prevent inflated shipping costs and ensure indestructible packaging, my wife and I head out almost every evening, often at unusual hours, to collect heavy-duty industrial cardboard from businesses in our neighborhood.
We hand-select only pre-evaluated, ultra-resistant materials to offer you maximum protection at the lowest possible cost.
Choosing our lots means relying on the historic expertise of a family that has lived this passion since 2004, while investing in the next generation. Our schools and students thank you deeply for your trust.
Happy bidding!
