Set of 12 large Salviati glasses, c.1950. 8 7/8 inches high.

In 1859, Vicenza-born lawyer, Antonio Salviati, started his glass works career establishing Salviati & C. uniting the production of mosaics and enamels with that of blown glass, becoming an example of excellence throughout the world. A tireless researcher, his furnace produced extremely sophisticated lattimi, intricately woven filigrees, opalescent glass with exquisite floral applications and aventurine threads. Accuracy and precision, together with the initial obligation to attend the in-company art school, are the legacy that still today characterize its production.

We are including photos of a piece of correspondence between Salviati and the original purchaser of the glasses
