Details

Vague singling on the bottom of the bottom. Presumably 'venini murano' In 1938 Tyra Lundgren (1897 - 1979, designer) worked as a freelance designer for Venini and created several series incorporating birds, fishes and leaves. She returned later, in 1948, and designed manifold forms of the Calla. She was the first freelance artist at the Venini glass-works. Tyra designed the shapes but the surface patterns were designed by Carlo Scarpa (corroso, tessuto, battuto, mezza-filigrana etc.) For references to this design, see: Venini Catalog Raisonne 1921 - 1986, Anna Venini Diaz de Santillana, 2000, page 220; also Il Vetro di Murano alle Bienalli 1895 - 1972, Barovier, Mentasti and Dorigato, 1995, page 59; also I Vetri Venini, Franco Deboni, 1989, color plate 90.
