Murano glass pocket emptier bowl with a pleasant rounded shape. The design is essential but well proportioned, functional and elegant. The inside is made of white opaline glass, the outside is made of glass in a delicate cream color. This object was made by the Murano masters with the "incamiciatura" technique, which consists in superimposing, as an initial process, one or more successive layers of glass of different colors on the mass of glass coming out of the furnace; in this bowl, a single color was superimposed on the white opal glass mass by immersing the barely sketched white shape in a crucible containing the cream colored molten glass. Then the master glassmaker put everything back into the furnace for a few minutes and, blowing into the barrel, using pliers and working it by hand, he gave the emptied bowl the desired shape; this operation is very difficult because the two colors must be mixed evenly. The object was made entirely by hand and without the use of molds or models, thus obtaining a unique piece, just like a work of art. The first evidence of this technique concerns Benedetto Barbaria, who in 1815 created a "blown glass with two layers of enamel". This pocket emptier bowl was created by master glassmakers between 1971 and 1975 in the furnace of Vincenzo Nason's manufactory in Murano. Founded in the 1930s by Vincenzo Nason, heir to one of the oldest families on Murano, the glassworks established itself in the period of maximum artistic splendor of the island with a brand that became known throughout Italy and abroad. The company, which extended over an area of six thousand square meters, had around 20 kilns and could produce as many as 15 different colors a day. It was one of the last furnaces to continue not only the production of artistic glass but also that of industrial glass, which includes, for example, lighting components, bathroom accessories and dental offices. It has always been run by family members. At its peak, until 2000, the company had about 80 employees and was one of the largest on the island of Murano. Creativity and attention, respect for tradition and experimentation with every possible innovation have led Nason's company to achieve international fame with creations of absolute excellence. In 2004 Nason & C. closed its doors and was declared bankrupt. For all our shipments we use special packaging materials (wooden crates, polystyrene, etc.) for maximum protection and safety of the objects.
