I am just back from three trips, back-to-back. Time to stay home for a while! When I was visiting a friend in N. Falmouth, Massachusetts (on Cape Cod), I noticed this in her church thrift shop. Many of you know that I collect salt cellars, so I was intrigued. I have, since, been able to discover what it is. Do you know?

Living With Glass: The Ed Cauduro and Dane Nelson Collections
February 20, 2015 – May 16, 2015
Presenting Sponsor: Ed Cauduro Fund of The Oregon Community Foundation
Living with Glass delves into the life and mind of the collector, exploring the impulse to collect, and the delights of living amongst objects so fastidiously sought and acquired.
For well over five centuries, glass from the island of Murano, Italy has been desired by collectors of all persuasions, from leading scholars to day-trip tourists. The extraordinary skill of Murano’s glassmakers is indisputable. Veritable magicians, they transform cold material into explosions of light and color, encapsulated through the centuries in vases, sculptures, chandeliers, and tableware.
This exhibition draws from the private collections of Ed Cauduro and Dane Nelson, friends and fellow collectors, who shared a particular affection for Italian glass. Beginning with early-20th century pieces acquired by Cauduro’s Italian-born mother, Living with Glass features over 200 objects drawn from the red-hot furnaces of Murano, including works created by the most highly-regarded workshops on the island: Venini, Vetreria Aureliano Toso, Seguso Vetri d’Arte, Fratelli Toso, Barovier & Toso, and others.
Beyond providing a comprehensive look into the artisanal history and culture of Murano, Living with Glass illustrates the story of two confidants. Set within domestic arrangements inspired by Nelson’s home, the scope of glass artworks reveals hints of a personal relationship that was cultivated and strengthened through collecting and living with art and design.
Exclusively at Museum of Contemporary Craft in partnership with Pacific Northwest College of Art, Living with Glass is an exhibition about and for collectors. Through an exceptional survey of mid-20th century Italian glass, museum visitors will explore the ways that collections help us to cultivate our identity, domestic landscapes, and social relationships.
