Italian glass Murano Milan 1930 - 1970

A specialist book on Italian glass with a focus on Murano and Milan in the period from 1930 to 1970 — an important reference work for collectors, dealers and lovers of 20th century Italian glass design.

Murano glass is one of the formative chapters in European design and craft history. The decades between 1930 and 1970 in particular are characterized by experimental forms, intense colors and a close connection between craftsmanship, art and modern design. Manufacturers such as Venini, Barovier & Toso or Salviati, as well as the design environment in Milan, developed their own visual language during this period, which continues to shape the market for Italian vintage glass today.

The volume is very suitable as an addition to a design library and as a reference work for handling vintage glass — be it for attributing manufacturers, styles or dating. With 351 pages, the book is aimed particularly at those interested in Murano glass, Italian design, glass objects and 20th century decorative arts. Good condition.
