Barbini Beauty

Whenever anyone asks me about my favorite designer from the vast selection we carry I always say Alfredo Barbini of Murano and of all of his work, the orange pieces with the controlled bubbles and gold top my list. Pieces like this compote were made in Venice in the 1950s for the luxury American market. Nobody else does this color that can only be described as Barbini Orange, a kind of reddish deep coral that is one of his signatures. Thirteen inches tall.
