Murano: elegance and rarity: a masterpiece of 20th-century Italian design. Discover this extremely rare decorative mortar and pestle set, an emblematic collector's piece of Murano glass art from the 1950s. This sculptural duo captivates with its visual presence and exceptional craftsmanship. An exceptional configuration: While it is rare to encounter the bowl alone, it is exceptional to present it accompanied by its original pestle. This inseparable pair has survived intact through the decades, making this set a highly desirable curiosity for discerning collectors. Technique and Colouration: Made according to the tradition of master glassmakers (Fratelli Toso / Galliano Ferro), this set features an intense Ruby Pink (Rubino) hue, achieved by infusing gold salts into the glass. The trilobed bowl, with its organic curves, is adorned with clear crystal handles that have been hot-stretched. The solid crystal pestle showcases a twisting design that beautifully captures the light. Quality of Craftsmanship: Weighing 1.7 kg, this piece demonstrates a density characteristic of high-quality crystal. • Condition: Perfect condition (no chips, no nicks), with minor usage scratches under the base as a guarantee of its authenticity. • Dimensions: L 26cm | H 10cm | Weight 1.7kg. Shipping: As a discerning collector, I guarantee custom packaging, ultra-secure and extremely well-protected for a worry-free delivery.
