Description from the seller

Set of 6 original Carlo Moretti flutes – Murano

Very rare – Iconic shaped bases – 80s/90s – Excellent conditions

Proposed is a spectacular set of 6 sparkling wine / flute glasses in blown Murano glass, signed by Carlo Moretti, one of the most refined and recognizable designers of contemporary Venetian glass.
This is an absolutely rare service, featuring the famous bases shaped in cobalt blue glass: each glass has a different form (star, flower, square, pentagon, hexagon…), a distinctive feature of Moretti's productions from the 1980s–1990s.

The transparent body features the characteristic micro-bubble texture, achieved through traditional artisanal techniques. A perfect combination of sculptural aesthetics and the lightness of blown glass.

The input is a dash character, which does not require translation.

The input is a dash character, which does not require translation.

Notes on the designer

Carlo Moretti is among the most important masters of twentieth-century Murano glass. His productions, always in limited editions, are now present in international museums and collections (MoMA, Triennale, Corning Museum). The geometric-based services are considered among the most iconic and sought-after.

The input is a dash character, which does not require translation.

Estimated value

The current value for a complete set in these conditions is:
840 euros.
With higher prices in foreign markets, given the rarity of shaped bases and the presence of the label.

The input is a dash character, which does not require translation.

Shipping

Professional packaging, maximum care and protection of parts.
