Vincenzo Nason was an Italian glassmaker born on March 27, 1949, in Murano, Venice, Italy. He belonged to a family of glassmakers that had been producing fine glass objects for generations, and he learned the craft of glassblowing from a young age. In 1967, Nason began working at the Venini glassworks, where he was exposed to the work of some of the most famous glass artists of the time. He quickly developed a reputation as a talented glassblower and started his own workshop in 1981, called Vincenzo Nason & C. Nason's work is characterized by its simplicity, elegance, and use of color. He often used traditional Venetian glassblowing techniques to create modern and innovative designs. Some of his most famous pieces include the "Acquario" series, which features colorful glass fish swimming in clear glass bowls, and the "Nuvole" series, which consists of large, cloud-shaped glass sculptures. Nason's work has been exhibited in museums and galleries around the world, including the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and the Corning Museum of Glass in New York. He passed away on April 6, 2019, at the age of 70, leaving behind a legacy of beautiful and innovative glass art.
