Yesterday I paid a visit to interior designer Vicki Crew's Italian villa in Highland Park. I fell in love with her Venetian glass collection, and thought you might like to see some of it. Vicki travels often to Venice, which is where most of her pieces came from. These stems are part of a larger collection she's amassed of antique goblets in about 4 or 5 styles.
Years ago Vicki commissioned some spectacular overscaled pieces for four niches in her dining room. Hand blown by glass artisans in Venice, they're are about two feet tall each. These were based on smaller pieces she'd admired during an earlier trip to Venice.
