Epikisis. Magna Grecia, Gnathia, 4th century BC. Ceramics. Provenance: private collection J. S. Barcelona, Spain, focused on the study and collecting of Greek ceramics. Intact. Excellent luster of the firing in the black color. Measurements: 17 cm (height). Epikisis of Magna Grecia made in ceramic and decorated with geometric and vegetal motifs in white, red and yellow on dark background. The epiquisis was a closed container, for oil, ointments or other liquids, also used to pour the wine and to transfer a liquid from a big vessel to another vessel. Different sources speak of bronze epiquisis and others used to pour oil into lamps, but it will be Varron who provides the most explicit references: he indicates that this typology replaced the Roman guttus with the introduction of Greek fashions in Rome. It was possibly, therefore, the Greek equivalent of the Latin guttus. Gnathia wares are a type of pottery belonging to ancient Apulian painting of the 4th century B.C. They owe their name to the ancient city of Gnathia (now Egnazia) in eastern Apulia. There, the first examples of the style were discovered in the mid-19th century. Its production began in Apulia around 370/360 BC, paralleling the local version of the red-figure style that developed trends toward polychromy at that time. Gnathia vases are characterized by the application of different paints directly on the body of the vase. The subjects depicted include erotes, images of women's lives, theatrical scenes and Dionysian motifs. Painting was often limited to the upper half of the vase body, while the lower half often had only ornamental decoration. The most common forms were bells, pelicans, oinochoai and skyphos.

Large chandelier attributed to CARLO NASON (Murano-Italy,1935). Italy, 1970s. Transparent and pink Murano glass. In very good condition. This vintage chandelier has no flaws but may have slight use marks. It shows light wear and tear according to the use and age. Electrical components rewired and/or new. One light colored piece is missing. One of the lilac colored pieces was broken and has been repaired. Measurements: 112 x 60 cm. Fantastic large lamp attributed to the master glassmaker Carlo Nason. It has an intricate structure formed by multiple organically inspired Murano crystals in white and pink. Italian designer Carlo Nason was born into a family of skilled glassmakers in 1935 in Murano, Venice. His father, Vincenzo Nason, ran the renowned NasonMoretti glass business and opened a second glass business under the name Vincenzo Nason & C in 1941. From an early age, the younger Nason was trained in the art of glassblowing, learning about the properties of both the material and the craft techniques used in molding and decorating glass.The first objects designed by Nason date back to 1959 and are included in a collection of molded vases produced by V Nason & C. They are currently housed at the Corning Museum of Glass in Corning, New York.Driven by his passion for design, especially clean geometric forms, Nason decided in the 1960s to distance himself from his family's business, which specialized primarily in highly traditional and ornate decorative objects. Nason redirected his focus to glass lighting design in a modernist idiom.Nason intended to produce his first solo designs himself in small batches, but soon his spirit of experimentation and innovation caught the attention of Murano glass lighting manufacturer AV Mazzega, and the company invited Nason to collaborate on new collections. The partnership lasted from 1965 through the 1980s and resulted in a variety of iconic lighting designs that remain in demand today. Parallel to the collaboration with AV Mazzega, Nason also produced designs for other major Murano glass companies, such as De Majo, i-tre, Murano Due, Vistosi and Firme di Vetro.Nason continued to create designs in the 1980s and 1990s, but also worked as a consultant for Casinos Austria and worked as a photographer. Nason's works have been exhibited for decades in various art and design museums and galleries in Paris, Milan and New York. He lives and works in Murano.

After models by GABRIELLA CRESPI (Saronno, Italy, 1922- Milan, Italy, 2017). Ceiling lamp, ca. 1970s. Bamboo, rattan and brass. Measurements: 25 x 55 x 55 cm. Ceiling lamp with a shade in the shape of a wide-brimmed hat, made of bamboo and rattan. The use of this type of natural materials, also used in the rings that make up the pendant, as well as the flared shapes follow the style of Gabriella Crespi. They were very popular models in the 1970s. Gabriella Crespi studied architecture at the Politecnico di Milano, where her work was influenced by LE Corbusier and Frank Lloyd Wright. From the 1950s she devoted herself to creating furniture and other objects that balanced design and sculptural abstraction. Crespi began her career as a designer in the 1950s with her first production of objects, the ‘Small Lune Collection’, steel sculptures in the shape of a moon. In the early 1960s she collaborated with the Maison Dior. In 1968 the prototype of his first ‘Plurimo’ was exhibited in Dallas, representing the Italian design of the time. In 1970 he began his collaboration on the famous ‘Plurimi’ series with ‘metamorphic’ furniture (‘Magic Cube’, ‘2000’, ‘Dama’, ‘Scultura’). Between 1970 and 1974 she created her most significant lost wax works, including the sculpture ‘My Soul’ (1974), the collections ‘Animali’ (bronze sculptures with a fairy-like air that reveal Gabriella's unceasing attention to the natural world. ), ‘Jewels’ and ‘Gocce Oro’: fluid sculptures conceived through the ancient and precious process of lost wax casting. Between 1972 and 1975 she designed the ‘Quick Change Sofa’, the ‘Z’ line (‘Z Bar’, ‘Z Desk’) and the bamboo collection ‘Rising Sun’, a material dear to Crespi's heart which, according to her, ‘Unites strength and flexibility’. The famous ‘Fungo’ lamps (1973) are part of this collection. In 2008, she created for Stella McCartney a limited re-edition of some of her jewellery collections from the 1970s. In 2011, the Royal Palace in Milan dedicated the great anthology ‘The Sign and the Spirit’ to her. In April 2012 Gabriella Crespi Srl was founded with the aim of promoting the new creations of the Artist-Designer. In the same year the Gabriella Crespi Archive was created within the Company, directed by the Artist's daughter, Elisabetta Crespi.
