Opalescent glass and signed on base \"Sabino France\".\u003cp\u003e Sabino art glass refers to the opalescent vessels, figurines and lighting fixtures that Marius-Ernest Sabino produced in the 1920s and 1930s and that epitomized the cosmopolitan glamour of Art Deco period.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSabino was born in Sicily in 1878, moving with his family in the 1880s to France. There his father was a sculptor working primarily in wood. Encouraged by his father to study fine art, Sabino attended both the École national supérieure des Arts Décoratifs and the École national supérieure des Beaux Arts de Paris. During his studies, he became fascinated by the new technologies for generating electricity and how they were changing the glass industry. Returning home following service in World War I, Sabino founded a factory that manufactured light fixtures in wood and bronze, but he quickly switched his focus to glass, as his experiments with the material yielded novel results. By 1925, he had developed an opalescent glass with the iridescence of soap bubbles or peacock feathers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe factory is still in France because the moulds are cultural heritage and are not allowed to leave the country.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Dimensions: Height: 2.75 in (6.99 cm) Width: 4 in (10.16 cm) Depth: 1.13 in (2.88 cm)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Euro Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49917261644033,"sku":"LU4082112722871","price":325.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0766\/8652\/4673\/files\/12722871_master.jpg?v=1783522923","url":"https:\/\/euroantiques.us\/products\/opalescent-artistic-glass-fish-by-marius-ernest-sabino-french-art-deco","provider":"Euro Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
