Lampworked goblets

All I can say is that you have exceptional taste. That is one gorgeous goblet. I have no idea about the artist but I would love to know more myself.

Considering the warantee of Mirano made on the web site and the slight flaws visible in the photograph which are characteristic of quickly made hand made stuff, it was probably made in a production shop and cannot be identified with a particular master blower. It probably is worth retail about what you paid for it.

looks like a virtual production replication by Robert Kaindl to me. Maybe they are just linked to his site but I would question the authenticity. the glass could have come from Italy but I wonder if the goblet was made there.

Hi,

I'm Alex, the owner of

and I sold that goblet. have seen your comments and I want to guarantee the autenticity o that piece, as of the other glassware I sell (and I collect) in Venic and in my website. I go personally to work in this studio in Murano. Those goblets are lampworks in soft glass and they are made in ver limited quantities by I. Balbi, a very good master glassmaker fro Murano. He is joung, but also a talent and now he is working with Luci Bubacco, the best lampworker in Murano and probably one of the greates worldwide. I don't want to discuss about the "value" (technical and artistic) because I trade them, but I can say that everybody who knows a littl bit about lampworking, who has seen them was very very impressed. Fo everybody involved in glassmaking, I want to repeat that they aren' borosilycate, but Murano soft glass (they will understand what it mean in terms of difficulties of control on the flame).

You can have some info about him and his family of lamworkers in m website.

Sincerely

Ale
