Topic: barovier & co label c. 1919-1936

hi all,

i picked up this cute little covered bowl and thought the label might be of interest as i'd never seen it before (of course, there's much i have yet to see hee hee). the labels gallery wouldn't let me upload it there so, moderator can please move the images (or this entire bit) there if they wish.

it's a simple, purple honeycomb textured bowl. the lid has a gold infused clear ring applied to the edge and a rose atop. i admit, i bought it mostly to get a closer look at the label, though it's a pretty piece in it's own right.

Thanks bidda, I've added it to Murano101 for you. You should be able to upload once signed into GlassGallery - it's an open category/album so any registered user there can add to it.

Just want to clarify that it is not a barovier & Co. label, but a label for an earlier incarnation of the company, Artisti Barovier, which had different owners.

thanks Laura,

i found this quote, "The various incarnations of the glassmaking arm of the Salviati firm are as follows: 1854-1866 Salviati Dott. Antonio fu Bartolomeo (indicating in the Venetian vernacular that Antonio was Bartolomeo's son); 1866-1872 Societa Anonima per azioni Salviati a Compagnia; 1872-1877 Venice and Murano Glass and Mosaic Company Limited (Salviati and Company); 1877-1895 Salviati Dott. Antonio; 1895-1919 Artisti Barovier. " @ http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1G1-91088119.html (about 3/4 down the page)

the label actually says, "???S ARTISTIQUES - ?arovier & C? - MURANO" (don't know if that's clear in the pic). could the "artistiques" be an indication that this piece was originally imported to France (ie. artistiques=artisti)?  if this is, indeed an Artisiti Barovier piece as opposed to a Barovier & Co piece would it be considered Salviati or Barovier? lastly, i assume this means my original thought on age was a bit off - so, this would have been made c. 1895-1919 rather than 1919-1936?

all the incarnations of the many companies can be so confusing  thanks again for your consideration and input

The label is from 1919 - 1934.
That is from the actual Barovier book "Art of the Barovier" by Marina Barovier.
