Cristallo Venezia CCC (Murano, Italy) Art Glass 19.5" XL Centrepiece, in Cobalt/Green *RARE FIND*

Cristallo Venezia CCC was a mid-century Italian art glass manufacturer based on the island of Murano. Operating primarily during the 1950s and 1960s, the company is widely considered a "ghost factory" within the glass collecting community. With no surviving factory records, known closing dates, or master glassblowers (maestri) definitively tied to the studio, their history has been pieced together entirely by collectors from surviving items. The company's production is best known for heavy, sculptural centrepieces and bowls featuring sweeping, biomorphic forms. They frequently utilised the sommerso technique, layering vibrant, contrasting colour gradients within thick, glossy walls of clear crystal. Unmarked pieces are most often identified by the maker's most iconic design signature: a distinct, heavy, star-shaped base. Read more about Cristallo Venezia CCC here.
