Description
Vintage Retro Modern Tutti Frutti Bowl by Murano Art Glass
Made at Vetreria Fratelli Toso in the 1950s, probably by Vittorio Ferro. Credit for the “Tutti Frutti” pattern is given to Dino Martens in the 1940s of AV.E.M. Stunning example of early mid century modernist Italian art glass. This beautiful busy decor was named “Tutti Frutti” which is Italian for “all fruits”. Hand blown with a polished base and heat finished rims. Blown emerald green glass layered with silver leaf aventurine, layered again with colorful cannes and entirely encased in cristallo (clear). The seat has heavy bottom wear with small seat chiggers. This occurs from scraping against the surface it is sitting on for years. A remnant remains on the base that is unrecognizable. It is probably a Vetreria Fratelli Toso round label.
The companion clam shell bowl found with this large bowl has the remnants of a label belonging to Ferro when he was master glassblower at Vetreria Fratelli Toso. It may be a label remnant or it may be a dot of very old cork. There is a tad of red and bluish on the remnant and at times it looks like there may have been print on it, at other times it just looks like nearly petrified cork. This beautiful large folded bowl makes a great display or catch-all, but was designed for food service also.
This lovely bowl measures 7.5 x 7.5″ square, 9.5″ diagonal, 3.25″ deep. It weighs 3 lbs.[color-box]More About Italian, Murano, Venetian Glass[/color-box]
