Archimede Seguso belongs to that line of gentlemen glass-makers recorded from the early Renaissance until the end of the 18th century, who survived the fall of the Republic of Venice to re-emerge as leading figures in the world of contemporary glass-making. They are gentlemen glass-makers for the respect that they enjoyed and still enjoy in Venetian and Murano society, but above all for their urbanity and cultivation. In this book, the expert Rosa Barovier Mentasi describes ten years of new masterpieces produced in Murano from 1950-1959. Seventy-four colour.

Most of my items come out of estates on Martha's Vineyard and other places in New England. Please check my other listings. I am putting up a large collection of glassware, china, linens and postcards that I have gotten over the years out of these estates. I try to do a lot of research and give good descriptions but I am not an expert in everything so please ask questions or if you know something about a piece and are willing to add your input into my listings please contact me!

I am happy to combine shipping on multiple items if possible. I will ship internationally but please contact me for the shipping cost before bidding. 6.25% sales tax on bidders from Massachusettes. Please check my other new listings over the next couple of days. Returns are welcome if item is not as described, refund for item cost only. I take very detailed photos and give good descriptions. Please see all pics and enlarge to see details. Ask me any questions before purchasing.
