Nason & Moretti - Bottle - Glass

Bottle / Decanter with stopper for spirits or wine, made of clear blown glass (art glass). The body and neck of the bottle feature a distinctive twisted rigadin finish (or an optical spiral effect/helical ribs), created by blowing the glass into a fluted mold and then twisting it by hand. The silhouette has a raised, circular, chalice-shaped base, a tapered ovoid body that narrows into a long neck, slightly flared at the opening. The stopper is spherical (a blown-glass disc/knob) with a shaped stem that fits perfectly into the neck. Made in Italy (Murano / Venice) by Nason Moretti (founded in Murano as Nason & Moretti). It had an adhesive label that came off after repeated washing. Nason Moretti is one of the island of Murano’s most important historic glassworks, renowned for producing goblets, glasses, and tableware of exceptional artistic quality. The twisted spiral effect (“twisted rigadin”) is a classic feature of the Murano glassmaking tradition, as seen in Nason Moretti’s work from the 1970s/80s. Condition: discontinued. Measurements: height 29 x diameter 12 cm.
