Topic: Battuto by who though?

Nice find dorian _graye!! You've just made my day.

Looks very similar to what I have with the exception of the lip and colour.
The height is bang on.

Thanks again. Hope does springs eternal!

I thought that the two pieces had the same value or intensity, as in they would have been created during the same time to display with one another.

One of the characteristics that threw me off originally was the size and the thickness of the walls.
All battuto pieces I've ever seen have been thick walled and very heavy.

I see what you're saying about the two displaying well dorian. The colours are very complimentary to one another.

Again I can't thank you enough for remembering that this thread even existed!

I had pretty much forgotten about the little piece. Will have to find a place to display it more prominently.

I came across your thread in my search for battuto pieces for myself.  I came across your thread after I had seen the one I posted.  Thought I would share.

That website is not the place I would trust for my attributions, what references do they provide?

Similar items have been available in TK Maxx recently.

They list Marina Barovier's book "Carlo Scarpa. I vetri di un architetto. Milano 1997, Abb. S. 106 (zur Form) as their source.

Hi there.

No nothing about it  --- but Svazzo has one on his site to *look at* as a reference, HERE

Just thought I would throw that out there for you. 

Nice piece you have !!

[glassobsessed]

Do they mention if it is illustrated in that book? If so which page?

Svazzo has his described as "Being sold as a decorative item as it has no signature". At least that is accurate, a pity he has thrown "Barbini" and "Venini" into the title making no reference to them thereafter.

The lack of a signature bothered me on this one.  I've checked Scarpa: Glass of an architect and neither this shape not this colour is shown. The battuto is a little too imprecise for Venini, where each of the sections has the same shape. A friend has a very similar piece to the one here that it is stunning but not Venini either.
