Designer: To be appraised.
Manufacturer: To be determined.
Other versions: This glass globe pendant lamp exists in several colours. All these lamps were hand blown and therefore all unique with a little difference in size and colours.
With this type of lamp we always see the name Toni Zuccheri and VeArt or AV Mazzega or Vistosi, as long as it is from Murano… But this type of “dented” glass has existed since the Art Deco period.
Although many people say this, I haven’t found any evidence of this anywhere. Not in a catalogue, never even a label. Judging by the components, it is definitely an Italian lamp.

AV Mazzega (Mazzega 1946)
AV Mazzega was founded in Murano in 1946 by Angelo Vittorio Mazzega. Initially devoted to traditional Murano glass, the company shifted in the 1960s toward contemporary lighting design under the leadership of his children Lidia and Gianni Bruno Mazzega.
Gianni Bruno in particular recognized the talent of Carlo Nason, who went on to define the company’s creative direction. With Nason ’s groundbreaking experiments in layered glass and vetro in piastra, AV Mazzega gained international recognition in the 1960s and 1970s. Their lamps became synonymous with Italian design innovation, bridging tradition and modernity.
In 2000, Andrea Mazzega, grandson of the founder, became president. Today the company operates under the name Mazzega 1946, working with leading international designers while continuing to reissue Nason’s classics.
