Hi Jakub,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

“Vetri Artistici” literally means artistic glass in Italian. In Murano, the island off Venice that has, for centuries, been know for its glass production. This term refers broadly to handmade, artistically crafted glassworks — not mass-produced souvenirs — created by master glassmakers using age-old techniques passed down through generations.

The form and decoration of this goblet, with its amber/gold bowl and clear bullicante stem with controlled bubbles, is characteristic of mid-20th Century production and was made by several workshops, including Seguso Vetri d’Arte, Fratelli Toso, AVeM (Arte Vetraria Muranese),Vetreria Vistosi and Cristalleria d’Arte Nason. There is a fairly broad differentiation in value among these different makers and would be worth more if it were signed on the underside or top edge of the foot.

Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
