This charming sconces comes from a private residence in Genoa and dates back to 1940 circa. Curved arms show the rigadin ritorto decoration, well-known to traditional glassmakers in Murano. Rigadin ritorto is a thin-twisted ribbing obtained by blowing a glass object inside an open die and twisting while still hot to produce rigadin ritorto or twisted ribbing.
