Large Murano Pendant Lamp: Ettore Fantasia & Gino Poli, 1960s Space Age
The rare large hand-blown Murano glass pendant lamp, designed by Ettore Fantasia and Gino Poli for Sotis Murano, Italy, 60s. The "pulegoso" glass is made using a method that was often used in the 1920s, with the addition of gasoline to thereby cause the glass to boil in a melt. Countless tiny air bubbles of irregular shape inside the glass mass deliberately limit its transparency. "Lattimo" is a special glass processing. This is a white milky-like glass in which the opacity is provided by the presence of microcrystals. The crystals change the index of refraction, thus giving the glass mass a milky appearance.
