Item e7499

A great 'Vetro Soffiato' (blown glass) art glass vase, attributed to Vittorio Zecchin. Distributed by Pauli & Cia. C.V.M. Murano Venice ca. 1920s. Made of thin light blue glass with a ribbed decoration. Signed with acid etched company mark 'Venezia Murano Company' and crown on the foot. An early example of Murano's outstanding art glass production.

Pauli & Cia. C.V.M. is founded by Dr. Salviati Antonio as 'The Venice and Murano Glass and Mosaic Company'. Salviati leaves the company in 1877 and the company is renamed 'Compagnia di Venezia e Murano' (C.V.M.). The company is mainly involved in the production and sale of Venetian glassware. However, imported glassware from Loets, Tiffany, Daum and Gallé is also sold. In 1910, the company ceases its own production. In 1920, it is sold together with Pauly & Cia. to a Milanese company and a year later to Gaetano Ceschina. The companies traded together under the name 'Compagnia di Venezia e Murano Pauli & Cia'. In addition to lighting fixtures, the company also produced high-quality glasses based on designs by Guido Balsamo Stella, Napoleone Martinuzzi, Umberto Belotto, Flavio Poli and Vittorio Zecchin. After the Second World War, the company's own production was discontinued and glasses from Alfredo Barbini, Livio Seguso and foreign glass manufacturers such as Moser and Libenski were distributed.
