Provenance
Provenance:Sotheby's, New York, n.d., lot 361.Acquired directly from the above sale. Note: Ermanno Nason was a highly skilled Murano glass artist known for his exceptional craftsmanship and innovative sculptural approach. He worked with I.V.R. Mazzega in the mid-20th century, where he created expressive and technically complex glass sculptures, often pushing the boundaries of traditional Murano glassmaking. He later collaborated with the Fucina degli Angeli, where he worked alongside renowned artists and designers, further solidifying his reputation as a master of artistic glass. Throughout his career, Nason created striking glass homages to influential artists, translating their styles and motifs into his own unique glass interpretations.
