My Scavo Urns are very Special because they've
been stored in it's original packing for the past 40 years,after it was shipped to the USA from Venice Italy ..it's been in my family and I uncovered it to my surprise quite frankly I couldn't believe it. They were purchased on the island of Murano, in Venice and shipped to the USA and somehow forgotten,Still packed. I've got about 6 more in different shapes and colors, search my shop listings.

Info on Scavo Glass
This technique is called “frosted glass” and it was introduced in the early 1950s in the island of
Murano by glass artists in order to obtain an archeological effect typical of objects found underground after a very long time.
During the manufacture of the glass item a mixture of several powders, by the glass artist still kept secretly, is fused at a temperature of about 800°C on the surface of the glass object.
I don't see many Scavo Glass pieces around.
These are quite special and rare.
