Seguso set of twelve Murano glass plates 1970

This set of twelve plates created by venetian master glassmaker archimède seguso dates from 1970. Made from transparent murano glass, each plate is decorated with gold with amber reflections on its edges. Archimede seguso's plates stand out for their generous circumference, perfectly executed, and their thick, slightly raised edges, which add a touch of elegance while providing secure support for their contents. These pieces are in excellent condition, testament to the timeless quality of seguso's work. Archimede seguso (1909-1999), recognized as the best master glassmaker of the 20th century, reinvented the ancestral art of murano glass by taking over the family business, thus perpetuating a 650-year-old tradition. Among his inventions were "lace" glass (1952) and "feather" glass (1956), developed by rediscovering the 18th century filigree technique. “lace” glass works of unique beauty are kept in the most famous museums around the world. Founded several centuries ago, the seguso company, known as soffieria barovier seguso and ferro, was transformed under the leadership of archimede seguso into seguso vetri d'arte. The company is one of the oldest glassmaking dynasties on the island of murano, renowned for its visionary designs and unrivaled craftsmanship. Today, the 23rd generation of seguso glassmakers continues their legacy, ensuring the continued evolution and preservation of venetian glassmaking craftsmanship.
