Property of a Bluffton, SC Collector

Description:

Dino Rosin (Italy, b. 1948), Calcedonian, Murano Glass Sculpture, signed on the side of the base, figural multicolored glass sculpture on a black oval base, with Murano stamp on underside. Provenance: M. P. Demetre Jewelers, Charleston, SC, 1998, for $2400.

Dino Rosin was born in Venice, Italy on 1948. His family moved to the glassmaking island of Murano when he was two months old. At the age of twelve, he left school and began work as an apprentice at the Barovier and Toso glassworks where he remained until he joined his brothers, Loredano and Mirko, at their factory, Artvet, in 1963. Dino continued at Artvet until 1975 when he moved to Loredano's newly established studio as his assistant. There Rosin collaborated with his brother for almost 20 years. In 1988, Rosin was invited to Pilchuck Glass School in the Washington state to teach solid freehand glass sculpture with Loredano and the American glass artist, William Morris. In 1992, Loredano met an untimely death in a boating accident. Dino assumed the role of 'maestro' and began to produce his brother's old designs and ultimately his own. He uses the ancient technique of 'calcedonia' coloration for his glass works of art. The colors in his works range from bright yellows to deep purples, varying on the metals used, temperature and duration the glass is in the furnace. Rosin's work is shown at many galleries throughout the United States. His first personal appearance tour in America in 1993 was a great success and he has continued to visit galleries to much acclaim. He has made several gallery appearances through the United States, culminating in a one-man show at the prestigious Corning Museum in Corning, New York. (Askart.com)
