Large Murano Iridescent platter by Yalos Casa Murano  Platter Iridescent %%alt5%% %%alt6%%
We are offering this large turquoise Murano platter by Yalos Casa, (the House of Yalos), whose glass works is situated on the island of Murano, in the Venetian Lagoon. This beautiful platter has an iridescent finish like oil on water and shows a myriad of different colours when light falls on it. The name Yalos Casa Murano is acid etched on the base, which has an orange peel surface and is not highly glazed like the surface.

Yalos Murano is a leader in glass production, style and design. Yalos Murano is an established brand, at the forefront of Murano art glass production. It was set up by the creativity of Guido, Diego and Omar Ferro.

History

After the terrible plague of 1630 that decimated the local population, including the skilled glass blowers, being nomads but always connected to their roots, the Ferro family moved to Murano and soon found themselves numbered among the local notables as Members for the island in the Council of the Republic of Venice, occupying this prestigious position as many as 27 times during the eighteenth century.

Belonging to the energetic and productive local elite, the Ferro family became Gastaldi Maggiori of the School San Nicolòs that included master glaziers and glassworks managers.

In addition, their coat of arms appeared on Oselle twice, medals used as money that the Venetian Mint coined specifically to commemorate the Murano Community.

As if to represent their dual nature, the Ferro family’s coat of arms is composed of an anchor – a symbol of stability and links with the land – and a comet, an indispensabile tool for travel and adventures by sea.

The Ferro Florian line of the family originates from Leonardo Ferro, a skilled teacher and one of the famous glassmakers of the late nineteenth century, who have been numerous and fruitful up to the present day with glassware that carries their names.

Their numbers include Francesco, called El Vecio, who after wandering through Italy and opening furnaces in Venice to produce enamels for perler beads and rod, together with his children, opened a glass blowing furnace and a store for selling artistic glass in Murano.
