A pristine Venetian blown glass lamp in blue with gold inclusions. It consists of 3 "melon" shaped graduated balls on a metal base.
The lamp may be described as using 2 ancient techniques, one is bullicante, which is the formation of air bubbles covered by successive layers of glass which has been used here to give the raised rib effect on the melons. The second is a technique first used in Murano glass in the 2nd half of the 15th century,called foglio d'oro, in which gold leaf is pulverized and included in the molten glass giving a rich gold dust effect.
This is a unique one of a kind piece.
More pictures available and I will answer questions to the best of my ability.
36" tall including the harp. Glass part only: 18" tall.
