Description: MEASURES:Height: 7,87 inch; Diameter: 6,3 inch ; Weight: 2,13 lbsCONDITIONS:Perfect in every way. Item description:Delightful Murano scavo glass white opaline tending towards blue vase, with a cylindrical body and a wide circular mouth with a flat brim, enriched by a blue glass paste cord with concentric circles, which starts from the mouth and ends under the middle of the main body of the vase. Unsigned vase, attributable to the artistic glassworks of Archimede Seguso, datable to the second half of the 20th century. The grinding under the base can be easily seen, where the pontile was attached (an iron rod that is used to introduce and remove the vase from the oven in the various stages of its processing, when the work in glass is detached from the pontil, a glass beak is created that must be ground). The various dark spots, present on the vase, are wanted by the artist to give the object a sense of greater antiquity, probably the vase was treated with acids and other materials to give this effect of scavo glass.Useful information for the evaluation of the object:In the photos, just below this description, we have put the first four auction results achieved by Archimede Seguso's glass to give an idea of the importance of this great glass artist. Then we have put some similar vases, in color, type of opaline glass used and artistic workmanship, even if either smaller or in any case much simpler than ours, apart from the third, of a different shape, but the only one in iridescent opaline glass, in fact sold for €741, excluding the 25-30% auction fee. Finally we added two scavo glasses, also by Archimede Seguso, one in the shape of an amphora with handles in the same light blue glass paste as our cordolo, offered on 1stDibs at €1,263 and another very very similar to ours, with the same acid treatment and the same dark spots as ours but made in pink opaline glass instead of the light blue white one like ours, and with a green glass paste cord applied only on the neck of the vase with several turns, furthermore this vase is smaller than ours and was sold on 1stDibs at €550.Information on artist and/or manufacturer: Archimede Seguso (Murano, 1909 - 1999) was an Italian entrepreneur and master glassmaker. Considered "a living encyclopedia of glass" (as he was defined by Giuseppe Cappa, in the book "Le Genie Verrier de L’Europe"), he was one of the most famous Venetian glassmakers, distinguishing himself above all in the processing of heavy glass (called massello), he boasts numerous auction results and thousands of collectors.
