    I have a tiny piece of Dino Martens' work as confirmed by a Dino Marten specialist, but have always craved another piece. According to Murano.Net, "After his return from Italy's African wars in 1939 to 1963" Dino Martens was the "art director of Aureliano Toso."

    This particular bowl in various colors is being attributed to him on several sites. It is also misattributed as AVEM. The closest example of this piece that I found is Dino Martens AVEM Multicolor Murrine Millefiori Blue Rim Art Glass Bowl For Sale at 1stDibs. I found a lot of others. My concern is that these are all misattributed to Dino Martens.

    The bowl is 8 inches in diameter and 2 3/4 inches high. It has a pontil mark. Anybody know anything about this?

    I was excited when I saw it. They had a lot of new glass, which if my shelves were not so full I would have bought in an instant, but this was something special. So much bad information out there about these bowls.

    I appreciate this search. I, too, found many of these. The problem is that this may all stem from a misattribution in a glass book that stated that Dino Martens worked for AVEM. If you look at Aureliano Toso, creations they don't look like this at all. I need to find someone who has this book
    VETRERIA AURELIANO TOSO, MURANO 1938-1968 | arnoldsche Art Publishers that has examples of his work. The piece I have as thin black lines like the examples shown in the part of this book that is visible under browse.
