Barbini Glass 1950s Large Sommerso Pear
Beautiful cased art glass pear bookend. Previous owner used it as a paperweight. Felt dot remains on one of the polished flat seats from previous owner (prevents bottom-wear and scratches on the display surface). This pear is in excellent condition.
This big blown glass pear was once part of a set of bookends. The bookends consist of an apple and a pear. Makes a fabulous paperweight. Weighs 3 lbs.
Handblown in a honey amber encasing a deep emerald green. Light amber hand-formed leaf and stem are applied. Made in the 1950’s in Italy by Barbini. Referred to as Murano or Venetian glass. Measures 6.5″ tall, 4″ at widest.
