Description
Table lamp by Gino Vistosi
Impressive globe lamp by Vistosi, Italy 1970. Murano glass hand-blown by the masters of Vistosi. Vistosi lamps are created by a team of renowned international designers. Their products are considered to be of the highest quality available in the world. Every detail of their lamps is masterfully created by experts who strive for nothing less than the best.
History . . .
In 1791 Gio-Batta Vistosi was appointed Gastaldo dell'Arte - head of the glassmakers' guild - and became the delegate of the owners of the Murano furnaces.
The decline of the Venetian Republic and revolts among the workers marked a long dark period in the production of art glass. During this century many furnaces closed for good and the Art seemed to fade away. Only in 1945 did Guglielmo Vistosi open a new furnace in Murano. During the 1950s, under the leadership of Guglielmo's grandchildren, Vistosi's production began to focus on lighting articles, achieving considerable success. The decisive move towards success is to link production with the most famous designers of the time such as Gae Aulenti, Ettore Sottsass, Adalberto Dal Lago, etc. In 1989, Moretti, a Murano entrepreneur with a long experience in the glass industry, acquired the prestigious brand and founded Vetreria Vistosi. To this day, highly skilled craftsmen create the most exciting glass lamps in the world.
The Vistosi glass . . .
Vistosi blown glass is produced with a unique mixture. Once the sodium has been reduced to a minimum quantity, the glass seems to acquire the characteristics of steel: it is resistant and does not dull over time. The craftsmanship of each individual piece is revealed by imperceptible differences on the surface.
This particular glass globe is complex to make because of its size and the use of two types of glass. Complex glass designs can take up to 7 experts to make.
The glass globe is hand-marked 'Vistosi'. A unique opportunity to own a true Vistosi masterpiece! Some small chips around the globe opening (which is invisible when the globe is placed on its base). Fully functional.

Last updated: 24th March 2025
We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.
If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.
What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.
Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
I'm eligible for a return. Now what?
To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
