Awesome
piece of figural glass designed by Alfredo Barbini for Salviati, exact age not
known, but guesstimated to be 1960s vintage. Buyers should rely on their
own knowledge and research in determining maker, age, region of origin, etc.
Really big and really cool clown figurine, an impressive and
skillfully handmade piece that features a classic Barbini face with wonderful
decorative elements throughout. The white core is accented by gold foil, as are
the blue ball ‘buttons’ on the front and the pasta white collar. Whimsical
glass line drawings in green and brown decorate the front, while a mischievous
face is on the back, all cased by clear glass. This giant is solid glass and
weighs 25lbs, unpacked. Wow!
Payment due within 3 days of invoicing. NPB case will be opened
for late payment.
Size/Condition: Measures 18”
tall. Please also refer to ALL of the photographs as they are
part of the description. In excellent condition w/ minor production variations
such as scattered trapped air bubbles and minor tooling marks (at the ‘hands’).
No chips, cracks or bruises. Unmarked, undated…originally issued with a
Salviati foil label to the foot, now long gone.
