"Giulio Radi A.v.e.m. (arte Vetraria Muranese) Mushroom Lamp"
"Rad avem" refers to the work of designer Giulio Radi for the Italan company A.V.E.M (Arte Vetrara Muranese. Radi is known for his distinctive art glass designs, particularly his "pinched" glass vases and work with intricate techniques. The lamp base and domed shade feature characteristic, vibrant swirling patterns in rich autumnal colors of amber, yellow, red, and brown. The glass is created using Radi's innovative technique of superimposing alternating opaque and transparent layers of glass and inlaying them with gold or silver foil, which catches the light and adds a luminous depth. The result is a mesmerizing, glowing effect when illuminated. This rare and sought-after piece perfectly captures the artistic innovation of post-war Murano glass art, blending traditional craftsmanship with a modernist ethos.
