About the Item

'Façon de Venise in Bronze' is a unique centrepiece created in the Venetian style by the British artist, Simon Moore. During his nearly 50 year career within the world of glass, Simon Moore has built up a reputation for both technical and artistic mastery. His own workshop practice - first begun in 1982 when he joined the highly influential Glasshouse in Covent Garden - remains determined in its marriage of embedded skills and aesthetic subtleties, born of his love of making and expert knowledge of material. Moore first set up his own workshop in 1989, having previously co-founded ‘Glassworks’ as a means to further develop a range of domestic ware building on his apprenticeship with the authoritative Ronnie Wilkinson, of Whitefriars fame; an ever-expanding catalogue of functional glass was then to follow, with global reach. Now a consummate authority himself, with a respected passion for hard-won craft and dedicated workmanship, Moore has continued to explore and influence a range of glass-related fields: from his design directorships of both Salviati in Murano and Dartington Crystal in Devon, his art direction of ‘Salviati Meets London’ for Vessel Gallery, to his consultation (and making) roles for companies such as Bombay Sapphire and Nicole Farhi; from shop-floor to boardroom, his hunger for glass and thirst for knowledge have rightly earned him a significant international reputation. Moore has also tutored at the Royal College of Art since 1988 and has work on display in the Victoria and Albert Museum. Strongly influenced by English and Venetian manufacturing techniques his appointment in 1999 as the creative director at Salviati, made him the only person outside of Italy to hold this position. With a new workshop in Hertford, just north of London, Moore continues his own traditions. From the functions of a stemmed wineglass or a boldly-marked vase, to the sculptural abstractions of considered form, what remains core to his practice is the experience of skill and the beauty of workmanship.

Italian Murano Glass Decorative Footed Bowl or Centerpiece Compote, Gold, 1980s

Italian Murano Glass Decorative Footed Bowl or Centerpiece Compote, Gold, 1980s

Located in Villaverla, IT

Italian Murano glass footed compote centerpiece bowl crafted during the nineteen eighties showcases luminous Venetian Neoclassical revival design. Handcrafted in Italy, this statuesque standing presentation vessel rises from an expansive, circular pedestal foot into an architectural baluster stem articulated with stacked, ribbed spherical knops. Supporting the upper composition, the stem elevates a wide, flaring chalice basin that opens into a dramatic, horizontal everted brim with a fire-polished rim, balancing classical banquet grandeur with late-century geometric clarity. Master artisans mouth-blew and hot-tooled each component at the furnace (a mano volante) using traditional Venetian fluting techniques (a costolature / rigadin ritorto). The bowl, baluster knops, and pedestal base are executed in high-clarity Venetian crystal (cristallo) richly layered with genuine twenty-four-karat gold leaf dust inclusions (polvere d'oro). Delicate spiral ribs radiate across the spreading foot and bowl brim, catching the suspended gold leaf flakes to create an effervescent champagne shimmer along every contour. Under ambient natural light or focused gallery spotlights, the translucent fluted walls project radiant gilded halos, sparkling specular refractions, and delicate ribbed shadows across display surfaces. Elevate any luxury dining room tablescape, architectural fireplace mantel garniture, executive credenza console, or vintage eighties Italian fine art glass collection with this authentic Murano compote...
