Title: Help on research
Post by: Joschua on May 23, 2007, 10:14:50 AM

Authors like Deboni, Barovier, Heiremans etc. often are mentioning a Zecchin-Martinuzzi catalogue that their own firm published in the mid 1930 and that must partially correspond to the Venini "Catalogo blu".
I wonder if their is any reprint of that catalogue and how similar it is to the blue catalogue.

I don't know the answer to your question, but there is a good relatively new book out on Martinuzzi. There might be some information about that catalogue in the book.

I bought the book by franco martella editore recently, named " napoleone martinuzzi Maestro vetraio del Novecento " -> no old catalogues in there.

I dont know if there are other publications.

That's the one I was thinking of. I thought that maybe they referred to these catalogues in the foreward, which might give you a clue about how to find them. The only other suggestion I have is to check with the Corning Museum. They have an extensive library.

Good luck.
