Lino Tagliapietra (born 1934) is widely regarded as the greatest living Venetian glass maestro, with work in more than 50 museum collections. In the mid-1980s he designed a limited series of postmodern vessels with Marina Angelin for Effetre International, each signed and numbered in an edition of 200.
Black glass body with blue applied horizontal piping and a disk-form stopper topped with a candy-apple red finial. The bold graphic banding and sculptural stopper are typical of the series.
