Description:
Here is a very large (and very heavy) art glass bowl by listed Italian artist Pino Signoretto (b. 1944). It features a thick cranberry rim and a clear bottom with three vibrant fish. It is signed on the bottom (please view third photograph).
From Signoretto's own website:
"I grew up in the tough school of an unrivaled glass master, Alfredo Barbini, who was quick to mock my desire to learn and to make; he would strike my blowpipe to destroy what I was creating, as if to say: "Forge ahead young man, this is a taste of the incomprehension, the hurdles that await you in the future, consider the fragility of your creation which can be lost in an instant. Persevere, young man, because if you are stubborn, determined and steadfast you will be successful in achieving your desires, the sense of form and color which I see inside you and which I hope you will be able to perfect."
I did pursue this goal: now others call me Maestro but inside I know how much I still have to learn. In any case I am proud to be a Glass Master, a title which eight centuries ago, Venice considered equivalent to the nobility of the patricians. For a Maestro, there was the nobility of art, for the patricians, the nobility of blood. The Glass Master cannot turn back: his work remains indomitable, he has no margin for error. I have found my life's purpose in this search for perfection."
We only charge the cost of shipping, and insurance is always included. This is an extremely heavy piece; please do keep that in mind.
