Here is a great sculptural pair of bookends
by the noted glassmaker ALFREDO BARBINI; born in Italy in 1912. He Started studying at the age of
ten and has won several international awards. He is known for his use of heavy glass sculpture as noted by Leslie Pina in the book titled FIFTIES GLASS !
These bookends are an example of this tech-
nique . They both bear the label Made by ALFREDO
BARBINI for WEIl CERAMICS & GLASS ect.
The design consists of two oblong pieces of
glass twisted together with a twisted tip. Air
pockets are incased in each section which create
the effect of looking through caverns. They
are ground on backside and bottom. The color is
what I call FIFTIES GREEN ! GREAT CONDITION and
MID-CENTURY flair !!!
