PAIR of stunning vintage Alfredo Barbini Murano sommerso glass large heavy (2.5 Kg approx) apple (possibly a peach)& pear fruit bookends. I had the exact same set each piece bearing their original gold foil’Alfredo Barbini for Weil Ceramics and Glass, Murano’ labels as pictured in photos 10-11 dating I believe to the 1950′s hence my confident attribution. Absolutely gorgeous display and beautiful useful bookends. Large and heavy: pear is 16 cm high and apple is 11 cm high approx: weight apple 1.15 Kg and pear 1.25 Kg. Perfect immaculate condition for display-some movement wear frits to base consistent with age and weight but not visible on display. I will post very carefully bubble wrapped, double boxed and tracked & signed for. I have excellent feedback & lots more photographs.
