MURANO GLASS “CAVALLI DI SAN MARCO”
Made by master glassmaker Alessandro Barbaro.
Alessandro Barbaro is Master Glassmaker at the Vetreria Artistica Colleoni on the island of Murano. He has been working with glass for almost 40 years and is an extremely experienced and skilled craftsman. He tends to create very sculptural pieces, exploring the potentials of colour and form and is well known for his animal, and other large scale, sculptures. Barbaro’s extraordinary ability to convey movement and passion in such a brittle, lifeless form results in extremely striking and enigmatic pieces.
