Operating primarily during the 1950s and 1960s, the company is widely considered a \"ghost factory\" within the glass collecting community. With no surviving factory records, known closing dates, or master glassblowers (\u003ci\u003emaestri\u003c\/i\u003e) definitively tied to the studio, their history has been pieced together entirely by collectors from surviving items.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe company's production is best known for heavy, sculptural centrepieces and bowls featuring sweeping, biomorphic forms. They frequently utilised the sommerso technique, layering vibrant, contrasting colour gradients within thick, glossy walls of clear crystal. Unmarked pieces are most often identified by the maker's most iconic design signature: a distinct, heavy, star-shaped base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eRead more about Cristallo Venezia CCC \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/thatretropiece.com\/collections\/cristallo-venezia-ccc\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003ci data-index-in-node=\"403\" data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eRead more about Italian Murano glass production\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/thatretropiece.com\/collections\/glass-italian-murano\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eTHIS LISTING\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel\u003c\/strong\u003e Centrepiece \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e 1960s\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour\u003c\/strong\u003e Red, Orange\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e 21cm tall, 51cm (20\") long, 22cm wide\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent condition with no wear that we can see.
