Unique set of Murano art glass sculptures 'Forme opali',  manufactured by Vetreria Gino Cenedese and designed by Antonio da Ros in 1966. Designed for the 33rd Venice Biennale in 1966. Thick light purple and light blue glass with opaque inlays, mounted on solid bases made of gray and neodymium-colored glass. One base is signed 'Cenedese Antonio da Ros'.  A unique ensemble that is a highlight for any glass collection.

In 1946, Gino Cenedese founded the company Cenedese Co. with master glassblowers Alfredo Barbini, Gino Fort, Angelo Tosi and Pietro Scaramal. After the partners left the company in 1949, Cenedese worked with freelance designers and artists, including Fulvio Bianconi, Riccardo Licata, Napoleone Martinuzzi, Ermanno Nason and the painter Luigi Scarpa Croce. In 1959 Antonio Da Ros became artistic director. He frequently designed pieces using the Sommerso technique, often with the so-called 'uranium' glass, which shines brightly in ultraviolet light. The manufactory is also known for its aquarium sculptures - large clear glass blocks filled with swimming fish and algae. They were originally designed by Alfredo Barbini and later continued by Riccardo Licata. Gino Cenedese died in 1973. The company is still run today under the name Ars Cenedese.
