Barovier & Toso Studio, Toni Zuccheri - Vase - Signed T.Z '91 w/ mfg. Sticker - H. 33 cm - Murano glass - Spacchi Series

TONI ZUCCHERI (1936–2008) FOR BAROVIER & TOSO – “SPACCHI” SERIES, SIGNED TZ 91

The number “91” in the signature refers to the year of production, 1991.

An elegant and distinctive hand-blown Murano glass vase designed by Toni Zuccheri for the renowned Venetian glassmaker Barovier & Toso, from the Spacchi series.

The vase features a striking sculptural silhouette, with a flared, asymmetrical rim and a beautifully contrasting black and translucent clear/white glass body, enhanced by slender vertical decorative stripes. The interplay of light, transparency and dark glass, together with its dynamic form, gives the piece a particularly refined and expressive presence.

The vase is signed “TZ 91”, indicating the designer's signature and the year 1991. It retains its original Barovier & Toso Murano Venezia – Made in Italy manufacturer's label, as shown in the photographs.

Dimensions:
Height: approx. 33 cm
Widest diameter: approx. 26–28 cm
Base diameter: approx. 9 cm

Condition: Very good overall condition. Any signs of use are minimal. The underside of the base presents one tiny crater-like, which is consistent with the traditional Murano glassblowing and handmade production process, where the glass is detached during manufacture. This is a normal characteristic of the production technique and not a defect or subsequent damage.
