This vase is heavy and substantial and handblown in a thick and solid Murano glass. The faceted scales throughout the vase are obtained by grinding the glass after it is handblown, point by point. These facets catch and reflect light and causes the vase to look jewel-like. Can be displayed alone as listed or with its complementary taller vase shown in one of the photos and listed separately. This listing is for one vase. These vases is on display at the Gallery at 200 Lex in the New York Design Center.
Italian master glass-blower Alberto Donà was born in Venice in 1944 and began learning his craft at the tender age of 13. Donà apprenticed under numerous masters in Italy and Venezuela, including the maestro ‘Nane’ Ferro, who was a giant in the Murano glass world in the 1960s. In the 1970s, Donà opened his own furnace and began working on his own creations, quickly gaining a reputation amongst the local artisans for the scale and dynamic colors of his work. Alberto Donà’s studio also collaborates with external designers and interior designers, as well as with brands such as Donghia, Fendi, Venini, and Cornelio Cappellini, amongst others. Alberto Donà was given a solo exhibition at the Vassel Art Gallery in London in 2001, and he was commissioned to design the lighting for the Hiroshima Memorial Museum in 2006.
