Pair of 1970s Red & Blue Murano Glass Wine Glasses

Sale price€365,00

A striking pair of 1970s hand-blown large Venetian wine glasses, found on our recent trip to the Venetian Lagoon. Each glass is individually hand-blown, one vibrant blue with a gold stem, the other deep red with a blown bubble stem.

Provenance. Somewhere on Murano, behind an unmarked door, an old furnace keeps a warehouse of unopened boxes. A dear friend recently took me to this top secret location and inside, we found what Venice forgot: one‑off Murano coupes, flutes and goblets with stems like high jewellery and glass in the palest lagoon colours. Inside each box were the forgotten pieces from Venice’s great glass houses: small remainders from closed furnaces and  shops, carefully wrapped and then abandoned. Sitting on the cement floor, we unwrapped them one by one. Each parcel revealed a single hand‑blown coupe, prosecco flute, wine or aperitivo glass.
