A set of six Venetian Art Glass plates dating from 1920 displays an iridescent green colour and a lustrous finish with gold gilt accents. Each circular plate features swirl fluting along the rim and a recessed centre. The objects measure 16.25 cm wide. The photograph shows that the set includes transparent green glass items arranged in various positions, some supported by stands and others resting flat, displaying subtle variations in light reflection and tone across their surfaces. These pieces suit placement on a sideboard top in a dining room or living area as decorative display items. They bring a touch of early twentieth-century glassmaking to interior styling, combining metallic gilding with moulded swirl patterns. The plates function effectively within a traditional or eclectic table setting, offering collectors an authentic example of Venetian glassware from the period.

FAQs

During the early twentieth century, Venetian glassmakers on the island of Murano refined techniques for producing iridescent blown glass inspired by classical excavations. The 1920s marked a transition into Art Deco aesthetics, combining traditional Italian craftsmanship with geometric motifs, metallic sheens, and vibrant tints.

These items were crafted from soda-lime glass, blown or press-moulded, and treated with metallic salts during heating to produce a surface iridescence. Finishing touches often included gold leaf, gilding, or hand-moulded fluting along the rims.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit a pontil mark or smooth grinding mark at the base, slight variations in thickness from hand craftsmanship, and a distinctive surface iridescence that reflects rainbow hues under light.

These plates can be styled as accent pieces on a sideboard, arranged in a display cabinet, or incorporated into a contemporary table setting to add colour and light refraction.

Iridescent glass should be washed by hand in lukewarm water using mild dish detergent and a soft cloth. Dishwashers and abrasive cleaning agents must be avoided to prevent stripping the surface lustre or gilt detailing.
