About the Item

Venetian Masterwork: Extraordinary Filigrana Goblet with Pure Gold Aventurine Dolphin Stem A superlative example of the celebrated Venetian glass tradition, this magnificent goblet transcends mere functional ware to stand as a singular piece of sculptural art. Crafted on the island of Murano in the mid-20th century, this piece is a testament to the enduring mastery and technical finesse of the island’s most gifted artisans. The Epitome of Venetian Luxury The structure of this object is a symphony of contrasting textures and brilliant color: The Cup: The commanding bowl is flawlessly executed using two distinct Filigrana (cane work) techniques. It features vertical bands of luminous white A Reticello—a delicate, diamond-netted lattice containing intentionally trapped air bubbles (bullicante). These segments alternate with bold, vertical A Fasce stripes in a rich, translucent coral-orange, creating an optically dazzling effect that captures and refracts light. The Sculptural Stem: Rising from the foot, the stem is a breathtaking, free-form Dolphin or Hippocampus, a classical flourish echoing the Renaissance heritage of Venice. The creature is entirely infused with Pure Gold Aventurine (stellaria), a rare material containing shimmering copper flakes, giving the glass a radiant, deep golden scintillation—the ultimate expression of opulence in glass. The Foot: The base anchors the piece with subtle elegance, lightly dusted with fine gold sparkle, ensuring stability without distracting from the dramatic centerpiece above. This goblet is a highly refined collector's object, embodying a perfect fusion of historic form and mid-century chromatic brilliance. It is a striking acquisition for those who seek scarcity, impeccable provenance (Murano), and technical perfection in their collection.
