ABOUT PRODUCTID 16726
The Murano Bizantino centerpiece, designed by Dino Martens for AVEM in the 1960s, represents the pinnacle of Italian glassmaking artistry. Crafted in the 'bizantino'—also known as 'tutti frutti'—technique, this piece is composed of multiple layers of glass: the exterior is a rich, emerald green, while the interior bursts with intricate filigrana ribbons, colorful canes, millefiori mosaics, and embedded flecks of gold and silver foil. The rim is undulating and organic, while the compact, robust form and pronounced wall thickness are signatures of expressive mid-century Murano style. The glossy, smooth surface accentuates the vibrant inclusions, and the entire centerpiece remains in very good condition—only minor wear indicative of its age, no chips, cracks, or signs of restoration. This bowl speaks in the vivid language of the 1960s, echoing the daring of Venetian glassmasters and the fascination with color typical of postwar modernism. The hypnotic arrangement of hues and shimmering metallic inclusions evokes the atmosphere of Italian glass studios, where technical mastery mingled with creative exuberance. Soft waves of green glass frame a spectrum of embedded decoration, suggesting that even utilitarian objects can become small stages for subtle performances of light and shadow. It may be displayed on an oak or
