Murano Glass Pitcher
Alfredo Barbini

ALFREDO BARBINI Murano 50s

Hand blown pitcher. Murano white cased glass (Lattimo). Controlled Bubbles (Bullicante) and GOLD FLECKS (Avventurina) Art Glass pitcher. All accented with hand applied Filigree (Filigrana ) accent ruffles. The manner is which the gold flecks and bubbles swirl through the white cased glass is a Barbini perfected style and is a feature in many of his pieces.
Base has a pontil mark.

From my personal collection the piece is from the 1950's.
