Aquarium en verre de Murano, deux poissons bleus parmi les algues

Deux poissons d'un bleu de cobalt nagent en sens contraire, l'œil jaune cerclé de blanc, la bouche entrouverte, portés par des nageoires de verre incolore étirées en ondulations. Derrière eux se dresse une haie de longues feuilles d'algue, chacune filetée de vert dans un verre clair, qui s'effilent vers le haut. L'ensemble repose sur un socle de verre épais et limpide, à la surface bosselée. La lumière traverse tout, s'accroche aux côtes des feuilles et fait vibrer le bleu profond des corps.

Depuis une loi du 8 novembre 1291, les verreries de Venise sont regroupées à Murano, où s'exercent le soufflage, le sommerso et le moulage. Le XXe siècle y voit un renouveau porté par des maisons comme Venini, Barovier & Toso ou Seguso. Sous le nom d'aquarium, le marché désigne des sculptures de verre peuplées de poissons et d'algues, que l'on associe à Cenedese, à Barbini ou à Seguso, avec un pic de production entre les années 1950 et 1980. Aucune verrerie ni aucun designer ne sont indiqués pour cette pièce, datée vers 1970.

Read in English

Two cobalt-blue fish swim in opposite directions, yellow eyes ringed with white, mouths just open, carried on fins of colourless glass drawn out in ripples. Behind them rises a hedge of long seaweed blades, each threaded with green inside clear glass and tapering upward. The whole stands on a thick, limpid glass base with an uneven surface. Light passes through everything, catches on the ribs of the blades and sets the deep blue of the bodies vibrating.

Since a law of 8 November 1291, the glassworks of Venice have been gathered on Murano, where blowing, sommerso and moulding are practised. The twentieth century brought a revival led by houses such as Venini, Barovier & Toso and Seguso. Under the name aquarium, the market means glass sculptures peopled with fish and seaweed, associated with Cenedese, Barbini or Seguso, with a peak of production between the 1950s and the 1980s. No glassworks or designer is named for this piece, dated to around 1970.
