re SDV
It could stand for Seguso Dalla Venezia & C. Srl. (1951-65)
re L Nason
What a beautiful and fascinating label !!!!
And something of a mystery !!!
From Murano Magic it would seem that the only person this could refer to is Lino Nason "who operated a glass workshop on Muranop in the 1930's".
The only other L.Nason is Leonardo (1830-1900) !!!
An extensive Nason family tree is shown in Murano Magic but Lino does not appear as his relationship to other members of the Nason family is unknown !!!

I thought you only had one ! What have you been hiding from me ???
Thank you so much for this link. I have had such great difficulty finding out about Maestri Vetrai. I had assumed they were a relatively modern firm going by the style of the label or indeedsome kind of commisioning/importing/branding company...but on the contrary it seems they have an illustrious past !!!
I don't really speak Italian buut I can guess some of it from enforced schoolboy Latin .... I admit I never thought that reading about Ceasar's cohorts would ever come in handy.

I'd suggest looking to see what company with a name starting with K was located at no 3 Vigna Nuova in Florence then. :wink:

Very much a mystery it would appear! I would definitely think the style was c.1960, which is qualified by the Seguso variant, but do you have any idea how long Lino Nason was operating? This piece looks much later than the 1930s to me, although the label is quite worn. Just to confirm it does state 'Murano' above and 'Venezia' below so it is Muranese, not just Venetian.
From what I can work out on Italian [speaking] sites, he worked from the Barovier & Toso furnaces for 32 years (till 1962)?
I was also aware of the large Nason clan but apart from V.Nason their other pieces seem quite hold to find, Nason & Moretti aside.
But if it's Leonardo who made it, I'll eat the clam! :lol:
Well done Anne and Peter on Javier's label – could still be a dealer label though.
