This style of cane, murrine and metallic flecked decor is usually attributed to Dino Martens of Art Vetraris Muranese (A.VE.M). \u00a0Murrine, also spelled Murrhine and Murrina, is a venetian style technique of imbedding colored cane sections into the glass before is is blown into a shape. Venetian glass, like Murano glass, is made in Italy.\u00a0A.VE.M. saw it’s heyday in the 1940s-1950s. The company is no longer producing.<\/p>\n
This awesome, quality glass was hand-blown and hand-folded. Triple cased. Dark green, internally decorated with earth-tone bits of colored canes and silver flecks, encased in opaque milk glass, and finished with a layer of crystal. Flat polished base. The clear layer is pulled out on the sides providing handles. The decor reminds us of prehistoric ocean organisms.<\/p>\n
