Vintage Murano

 

 

 

The art of Murano glass making dates back to the 9th Century.  Were it not for the Venetian citizens fear of their homes burning to the ground, Murano glass might never have developed into the amazing art form that it is.  Glass makers were ordered to move their foundries to the nearby island of Murano in 1291.

Sommerso (” submerged in Ital) or “sunken glass” is a glass making art form developed by dipping the glass object in molten glass.  The outer layer is often clear with the inner object being a colored piece.

Alfredo Barbini was a glass artist born in Murano in 1912.   He was a leading figure in Murano and was descended from a family of  prominent glass makers. Below, Barbini bookends.

 Glass which is decorated with a regular pattern of air bubbles is said to be bullicante. This technique, while still in wide use, was especially popular with Murano glass artists during the 1950s.

 

 

 

 

 

 

If Walls Could Talk

Have you ever stepped into a room and gotten the feeling that it was like a story being told?   A well designed room will do just that.  And no room is complete without the walls playing a major roll in the whole design.    I love to make an impact with paint and wallpaper.  Here are a few photos that inspire me.

What a striking mix of old and new!

 

I hope this little blog inspires you to make your walls talk!!

RAISING THE VINTAGE BAR

Anyone who really knows me will say that I’m a nut about vintage bar ware.  I can tell you that my happy place is when I find that perfect highball or roly poly glass.   I go back to a time when there truly was a cocktail hour and it was de rigueur to dress the part (think Madmen) and truly unwind after a busy day.   This was a time when having a well stocked and smartly set bar was expected.

These days, there is a growing appreciation for the art of the bar and nothing compares to the designs made available during the 1940′s through the 1960′s.  Here are a few artists who stand out in the world of vintage bar ware.

FRED PRESS

 FRED PRESS STAR BURST GLASS

In addition to being a famous sculptor and painter, (Navy Memorial, Wash, DC),  Fred Press was a premiere designer of glassware.  He was able to capture the mood of the time in his designs.

DOROTHY THORPE

  Best known for her simple and classic style, Dorothy Thorpe is famous for glassware with silver or platinum bands on the rims.    Recently revived by the hit TV show, Madmen, Thorpe’s roly-poly glasses  with a one inch silver band are enjoying a fabulous comeback.    She also designed plates, bowls, vases and cigarette holders as well as many other items.

GEORGE BRIARD

Born in Russia as Jascha Brojdo, George Briard  immigrated to the US  and studied art in Chicago before joining the US Army as an interpreter.  Famous for his dishware and glassware, his signature collections were stocked at noted department stores, such as Neiman Marcus and Bonwit Teller.   His elaborate artistic style somewhat reminds me of Versace’.  There’s nothing like sipping a gin and tonic from some of his lovely designs.

SUMMER LOVE

I’m remembering when summer lasted forever.  There were endless days of boredom that were made up of humidity, books, possibilities and sno-cones.  These days, it seems like we just get the deck furniture arranged and before we know it, we’re buying back – to -school clothes, filling the calendar with meetings and thinking of pumpkins and hay rides.  This is my first post but hopefully a little inspiration to make the best of the last of our summer.
