Brutalist Glass Decanter Signed Julio Santos, early 1980s
Brutalist Glass Decanter Signed Julio Santos, early 1980s
Australian-Portuguese glass artist Julio Santos was a world-class expert in his craft. This decanter is a lovely example of his work.
Signed 'J. Santos' to the base and in excellent condition.
Santos' hand-blown and often signed pieces are not as well recognised as they should be. Now, the significance of his work is coming fully into view, as we newly appreciate the textural qualities of Brutalist 1970s and 1980s design.
Santos left Australia a legacy of teaching most of Australia’s glass artists of the 20th Century, as well as over 50 years consistent production in fine decorative glass in Australia.
