I am very new to the world of glass and glassware but have always appreciated glass pieces I see at sales but rarely purchased. As I become more comfortable with glass I have become more comfortable with taking a risk. Italian Murano art glass pieces have always fascinated me as an artist and I am especially drawn to the Mid-century Modern pieces from the 50s and early 60s. After World War II the Murano artists focused simple minimalist, functional design. Prominant artists of the time were Seguso, Santilona, Scarpa, Barovier, Bianconi, Zuccheri, Chrivi, Martinuzzi, and Barbini.
