Venini Glass
Author: Franco Deboni. Updated catalogue raisonné with a section on lighting (lamps and chandeliers), a dictionary of artists and the Red, Green and Blue catalogues. The three catalogues contain all the Venini items as distributed in shops; the most important pieces are grouped together on a scale of 1:10, in chronological order, accompanied by notes on the technique and materials used (blown, pulegosi, pietra dura, in corpo, flowers and fruit, lattimi, a mezza filigrana, a bollicine, sommersi, pesanti, diamante, corrosi, frames, a treccia, clocks, a rilievi, handles and ash trays). These catalogues were never offered for sale and original examples are rare, making their inclusion in this two-volume set indispensable for the historical and technical information they contain. Text in English. 528 pages. 620 colour and 229 black & white illustrations. 2 volumes, hard bound with dust wrappers and slipcase. 24cm w x 34cm h. Shipping weight: 5kg.
