Well, sorry if I am being slow, but no.
I can see that its the acronym of the name you quoted and I can see from Murano Magic that Barbini was the Maestro there from 1937-44.
But apart from one piece shown in the book I have never seen anything else attributed to this compnay specifically and am hard put to think of anywhere I have ever even come across the name on or offline, till now.
Ooops Laura mentioned it in her posting of Sep 29, 2005 6:08 pm
BUT that doesn't really advance our knowledge of Vetro Artistico Veneziano labels ......or does it ? Are you saying there's a connection ???
and that Adam.s piece are late 30s and 40s vintage ? ......Really ?????????????????!
So..................

You're the one who dropped Vamsa (a famous outfit, honestly!) into the conversation, but they do not seem to have any relation Vetro Artistico Veneziano. :roll:

--- Quote ---Vetro Artistico Veneziano sounds as though it could be a company name

Merely to illustrate that words such as vetri / vetro, artistici/ artistico, Veneziano / Muranese are used as part of company names that's all !!!
I'm trying to say that it's sometimes difficult to know whether these words should be taken as names or as adjectives.
Ivo:
In any case it is nice to know that "Veneziano" refers to Venice, and as you know there is no glass production in Venice itself, only refineries. The glass makers are concentrated in Murano. So if you run into glass with a "venice"sticker - think decorator, think Chinese import, be suspicious. :D

Good Point Ivo Thank you
--- Quote ---The two that have no label bear a strong resemblance to the beige ones that used to turn op here a lot - and which I have found several times with a label "Zwiesel Farbglashütte".
