Gianni Toso, Murano Glass, 4 vintage, fine, orig. Rabbi (s) 1968, Venice, Italy For Sale

These are original pieces from the Glass Master Artist, Gianni Toso, hand-sculpted glass rabbis bought in the Jewish Ghetto in Venice on a family trip in 1968. They have been with us since that time. They are fun caricatures developed in 1968 that are, for example, the basis for his famous award winning chess set. These four include a candle holding rabbi, a rabbi doing Kiddish (blessing over wine), a rabbi reading the Torah, and one blowing a shofar (ram\'s horn). These are much more finely and individually crafted than later production models.

They are roughly 4 to 5-1/2 inches in height.

There is a 5th figurine, but it is damaged and can be added to this lot at no extra charge.

Shipping rate includes added Insurance costs.
