Like many of the great Murano glass designers of the 20th century, Dino Martens was an accomplished painter.
Working with the Aureliano Toso glass factory he produced a remarkable series of vases between 1946 and 1960 which combined traditional Venetian techniques with bold colors and asymmetrical forms. The most well known of these, the Oriente series, exemplifies his painterly style and has become iconic of the period.
