The stems are like high jewellery, twisted and beaded, knotted and ribbed; the bowls impossibly light, in washed tones of rose, lilac, lagoon blue, amber and celadon. Glass after glass, each more intricate, more beautiful, and more improbable than the last.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eProvenance.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eSomewhere 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade for the most interesting lunch or dinner table, where every guest is given their own glass. In keeping with their noble character, each set has been titled according to its position in Venetian society: Contessa, Principe and Marchesi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable for shipping from end of April.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApproximate Dimensions: \u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eH21cm x W10cm x D10cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TheItalianCollector","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53548709019981,"sku":"20265000F","price":1600.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0271\/7276\/5749\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_ba20a6b3-6182-44b8-b68d-2bcfc981271a.jpg?v=1774522808","url":"https:\/\/theitaliancollector.com\/products\/set-of-8-1930s-marchese-murano-wine-glasses","provider":"TheItalianCollector","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
