Murano Coupe Bullicante Silver Inclusion Sommerso Barovier & Toso

Sculptural glass coupe made of Murano art glass (1950s-1960s) from the Barovier & Toso factory. This virtuoso piece boldly combines two historical techniques: vetro bullicante and the inclusion of precious metal. The thick wall of ruby red crystal contains a regular network of air bubbles (bullicante). This matrix of bubbles is enhanced by a generous inclusion of silver leaf (foglia d'argento), which, due to hot stretching, has fragmented to create a spectacular frosted or cracked internal pattern. This double decoration is encapsulated in a layer of transparent crystal (sommerso), offering exceptional depth of field. The organic architecture, with deep asymmetrical lobes, has been shaped freehand (a mano libera). The base features a perfectly ground and polished pontil (molato). The condition is excellent, the material has retained all its brilliance, with no cracks or chips. Slight micro-scratches from use under the base attest to its age.
