Opaline Art Glass Vase with a marbled design, Vetreria Barbieri, 1970s/1980s
An art glass vase of upright cylindrical form with a globular neck and a short flaring rim, the opaline glass body with a marbled design in shades of yellow, brown and orange. Many pieces in this style are found with paper labels reading 'V.B. Opaline Florence, Made in Italy'. The initials VB are thought to stand for Vetreria Barbieri, a factory in or close to the town of Empoli, Italy, that produced glassware during the 1970's and early 1980's. 'Opaline Florence" refers to the type of glass used, since opaline glass, a cloudy white, was produced in Florence. The parallels we have therefore allow us to provide an identification here and very similar attributable examples are known although this is a particularly striking example.| Size: | 21 cm high, 7.5 cm foot |
| Weight: | 380 grams |
| Date: | 1970s/1980s |
| Condition: | Very good condition |
| Estimate: | £20 – 30 |
