Devastating C.1960s BARBINI MURANO Winged Cased Glass Bowl | Vase | Console | Centerpiece With Label!

$400.00

Alfredo Barbini's dramaticly formed winged glass bowl/centerpiece is one of his most famous designs, with good reason: The grace and movement in this piece will never fail to take your breath away. The cased glass versions sparkle with the inlaid gold aventurine, but the sommerso versions--like this spectactular cranberry/pink encased in crystal glass--capture the light like nothing you've ever seen.

At 18.25" long, 4" wide and about 5.5" tall, this big beauty is the most petite of the winged bowl models--perfect for a vanity, nighttable, or windowsill. See all of our BARBINI WINGED CENTERPIECES here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/GLASSpheme?ref=hdr_shop_menu&search_query=barbini+winged+bowl

This special piece belongs OUT in the open (not stored in a cabinet on display) where you can use it every day—on the kitchen countertop to hold fruit; on a vanity for your brushes, make-up, etc.; on top of your dresser or night table to hold the personal items you need on hand the next day. And spectacular vintage Murano glass pieces like this console make the PERFECT gift! They’re pretty much one of a kind, so no one else will ever saunter in with the same item. And while expensive new crystal (you know, those typical boring wedding gifts) depreciate the minute they’re removed from the box, high quality famous maker mid-century Murano glass becomes scarcer by the moment—they’re a gift and an investment at the same time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Custom and personalized orders

GLASSpheme loves custom orders! But how do we 'customize' vintage glass? Simple. We love glass and we love our customers--and there are many ways we can help!

1) Volume discounts: Let's say there are several pieces you MUST have. Let me know, and I'll send you our very best price for the lot.

2) Custom displays: Say you have a special place in your home that SCREAMS for a glass display. Send me a photo of the space, your budget, and the accent colors for your room, and we'll send you photographs of possible groupings and our special pricing for the lot.

3) Tell us what groupings you have in mind, and we'll photograph them together for you so you can see how they'll look together.

Gift wrapping and packaging

What could be better than giving a gorgeous piece of vintage glass as a gift? (Aside from getting one, that is.) Glass is beautiful and functional--mostly! Consider a super mod biomorphic bowl or cased glass jar for a vanity or dresser, a platter/centerpiece for fruit on a countertop, or a vase for cut flowers. Not only does vintage glass bring exquisite delight to the most mundane of household functions (you should see our soap dishes), but our beauties increase in value over time. Send us a note telling us your purchase is a gift, and we will send it along with your personalized gift card, colorful tissue paper and a bow. (You alone will receive the receipt by email.)

Can I Select Custom Arrival Dates?

GLASSpheme ships your purchase on the very next business day, but we're flexible too! If you're going away on vacation or have a special date you'd like your gift to arrive, send us a note, and we'll time our shipping for you!

How can I get coupons for your shop and be informed of sales?

Simple! Join the GLASSpheme mailing list! Paste this link in your browser, send us your email address, and VOILA--you'll be among the first to know when your favorite piece of glass is on sale, or when we're offering coupons.
