This piece appeared in the exhibition of Dominick Labino's work at the V&A in 1974-1975. From the 1940s Dominick Labino (1910-1987) built small furnaces and experimented with glassblowing. From 1962 he began blowing his own glass and in 1965 he devoted himself full-time to his own work. He owned over 60 patents and invented many devices for the effective use of materials and fuel. Labino provided invaluable technical advice to the emerging studio-glass movement in America.
