Dino Martens Murano Tutti Frutti Bowl, Made in Italy, Mid Century Italian Glass

It’s been said, ‘that in the world of 20th Murano glass, Dino Martens' (1894-1970) legacy is that of an inventiveness and excess’…as you look at this sculptural multi-colored bowl you can see why. His Murano pieces are some of the most sought after and collected.

Titled Tutti Frutti, this whimsically eclectic piece by AVEM was hand crafted in Italy c. 1950s-1960s in the Zanfirico and Latticinio techniques. It has a tutti-frutti candy effect surrounded by a pop of blue on an opaque white base.

This is such a special piece…when made, it was designed to be used either as a bowl or an ashtray (I don’t see any indications that it was ever used as an ashtray)

I acquired it at an estate deep in the heart of Texas. 

Sourcing the South is my favorite thing to do... finding pieces that have been treasured for years and hopefully will be treasured for years to come. Many are steeped in history and tradition, and some are just pretty, but all are thoughtfully curated by me so that I can bring you the very best of what I find💙
