Product description
Hand-blown purple and blue Murano glass vase, 'Snake' Collection, created in the 1990s by Nason Moretti. Diameter 10 cm, height 18 cm. Carlo Nason, born in Murano in 1935 into one of the island's oldest glassmaking families, was a great master glassmaker. He grew up frequenting the master glassmakers working in the family furnace, mastering the most refined techniques of glass art, demonstrating an innovative and design-oriented aptitude which he applied to the field of design, while remaining linked to tradition. In 1925, the Nason Moretti company was founded by the Nason brothers, specializing in the production of furnishing accessories and tableware, where the mastery of the most refined Muranese techniques integrates with a modern vision and careful chromatic research. In 1955, Umberto Nason created an innovative project of two-tone bowls and glasses that earned him the Compasso d’oro award. In the 1960s, with the second generation of the family, there was significant development of the company, which nevertheless maintained its characteristic dedication to experimentation. In the 1980s, the focus shifted to lighting with postmodern reinterpretations of designed lights, featuring the Carlo Moretti Studio line and series of collectible chalices and glasses. From the 1990s, the company's activity concentrated on new collections conceived with a modern and design-oriented approach. Carlo Moretti of Venice, founded by Carlo in 1958 in Murano, passed to new ownership in 2013 but remains an important company today due to its constant relationship with design. The company is known for the beauty and elegance of Murano glass, gracing not only the tables of the most important households but also modern tables today. Crafted with ancient and secret techniques, Nason Moretti glass creations range from warm to cool tones thanks to the wide palette of blended colors from which glasses, vases, and lamps are created. Throughout its history, the company had numerous collaborations with prestigious fashion brands such as Giorgio Armani, Valentino, and Tiffany & Co.
