Evan Lobel
Large hand-blown glass vase with purple, orange and white sections with green, blue, and yellow accents by Anzolo Fuga for Arte Vetraria Muranese (A.V.E.M.), Murano Italy, 1955-56. The scale and artisanship of this vase is impressive. Anzolo Fuga was the master stained glass maker on Murano and his pieces often incorporate mesmerizing colorful “windows”.
