'Perfectly Unmatched' 1930s Murano Wine Glasses (Set of 8)

Sale price€1.200,00

A set of Eight 'Perfect Unmatched' 1930s Marchese Murano Wine Glasses. The stems are like high jewellery, twisted and beaded, knotted and ribbed; the bowls impossibly light. Glass after glass, each more intricate, more beautiful, and more improbable than the last.

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 – no pairs, no sets, just lone masterpieces. Back in Florence, we have hand‑selected these jewels and placed them into 'perfectly unmatching' sets of eight. Every set is a tiny cabinet of curiosities: eight singular Murano glasses that belong together precisely because they do not match. There are only a few sets in existence.

Dimensions: H18cm x W8cm x D8cm
