Artifact Overview

Davide Salvadore is one of the top Venetian glass artists working today. His unique combination of murrini, or canework, and cold-cutting techniques are what make his work so distinctive. This vessel, initially produced in our shop using Greenfield Village glass, was finished in Salvadore's studio to produce the vivid "Encalmo" cold work on the surface.

    This platter is a new form for Janusz Pozniak, based on experimental pieces he first produced at a glass furnace in Istanbul, Turkey, in 2017 and developed in conversation with Josh Wojick, Greenfield Village master glassblower. The colorations in the platter are from bits of murrini glass sandwiched together and fused into shape.
