Murano Glass Gallery of DINO MARTENS

Here is a gallery of art glass known to be designed and created by Murano Glass artisan Dino Martens (circa 1940-1950's). Martens is a master artisan and specialized in the art glass techniques of "a mace", pittorico, and lattissimo.

A Mace - an art glass design technique meaning "with spots"

Pittorico - an art glass design technique referring to a pictorial or painter-like pattern

Lattissimo - an art glass design technique referring to ribbons that resemble lattice-work,
                   many times appearing as a ladder-like pattern, often twisted and spiraled
