Napoleone Martinuzzi

Ferraris - Rocca collection, Venice, Italy

Marino Braovier, Venitian Glass American Collection 1840-1970, Stuggart, 2005, p. 252 for a different colour

This vase is in 'pagliesco' coloured glass with light iridescence and applied foot. Since 1910, C.V.M. (Compagnia di Venezia e Murano) began retailing glassworks by other Muranese glasswork companies and used to sign these including them in its collection. The C.V.M. acid signature could have been inscribed at a different date from that of the glass execution. This vase was designed and produced for the Zecchin-Martinuzzi Vetri Artistici e Mosaici.
