AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Rare plate by Ercole Barovier, made in iridescent light-blue glass with a pink-edged rim.
On the back there is the Barovier fire stamp which also states that it is Murano glass, and the presence of a gold leaf stamp on the base guarantees authenticity, preventing it from being mistaken for a generic unsigned piece.
Very rare piece from the 1940s/1950s production.
The mark reads "BAROVIER GLASS MURANO" (a mark attributed to the famous Barovier & Toso glassworks or to productions of the Barovier family).
Origin: Murano, Italy (Venice).
Producer: Barovier family (historic Murano glassmaking dynasty, best known for the Barovier & Toso signature).
Material: Murano artistic glass
Inscription: The heat-pressed gold leaf stamp on the base bears the words clearly BAROVIER, GLASS MURANO.
Marks of this type with English text ("GLASS") were predominantly used from the mid-20th century onward.
This mark is distinctive—a gold-leaf heat stamp—since, unlike the more common Murano marks (adhesive paper/aluminum labels or diamond-point etched signatures like "Barovier & Toso Murano"), in this case it is a stamp applied with gold leaf/powder to the glass base.
The English wording "GLASS" indicates a stamp applied mainly for productions intended for export (e.g., Anglophone markets in the 1940s-1950s).
Being a superficial gold leaf finish (not a deep engraving), it tends to wear away with use and cleaning, which is why perfectly intact specimens are rare.
Gold leaf stamp: The presence of the mark on the base guarantees authenticity, preventing it from being mistaken for a generic unsigned piece.
