Item description
Blown "sonoro" glass vase from the Scavo series by Afredo Barbini, 1970s. Alfredo Barbini (1912 – 2007) was a master glassmaker for the Zecchin & Martinuzzi furnace as a young man (managed between 1932 and 1934 by Francesco Zecchin and Napoleone Martinuzzi); he later became artistic director of the Gino Cenedese glass factory, for which he created numerous glass statues and the so-called Aquariums, i.e. "blocks of colorless glass which incorporated previously formed highly colored elements of marine flora and fauna". With Cenedese he participated in the Venice Biennale in 1948. The recession of Cenedese led him to found a glass factory in 1950, in the management of which he was assisted by his children Oceania and Flavio. The glassworks specialized in the processing of solid glass, submerged glass and, starting from the seventies, murrina and thin blown glass. He also participated in the Venice Biennials of 1950, 1954, 1960, 1962 and 1968. He died in Murano in 2007, at the age of 94.
