AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Glaskanne by ERMANNO NASON, 'Primo Maestro' of the 'Vetreria CENEDESE', Murano
Height: approx. 21 cm, width varies between approx. 10.5 – 12.0 cm
'scavo' technique - Italian for excavation -, developed in the 1950s by Alfredo Barbini and Gino Cenedese, with the aim of imitating ancient glass in form and surface texture as found in archaeological excavations.
Kanne made of colorless glass; on a wavy foot a pear-shaped glass body, in the lower section with 2 laid-on bands made of irregular glass rings; neck-mounted handle in ear-shaped form.
The surface of the pitcher has been treated with various powders, such as nitrates, carbonates, talcum or silicates, to imitate the effect of incrustations typically found in archaeological excavations or in underwater archaeological salvage.
The play of colors of the schrundigen surface ranges from green to gray and ochre tones to occasional sulfur-yellow encrustations.
ERMANNO NASON (1928 – 2014), one of the most important glass artists of his time — famous for his collaboration with the Fucina deli Angeli, for which he produced designs including those by Picasso — was master glassmaker at the CENEDESE glassworks from 1962–1971, for which he made the pitcher offered here.
