Elio Raffaeli

Elio Raffaeli

Born in Venice in 1936.
At fifteen he began his apprenticeship in the Seguso-Dalla venezia furnace, where he met Pietro Scaramal, his first master.

He then moved on to Salviati where he learned techniques ranging from blown to sculptures to solid glass. After a fruitful collaboration with the designer Flavio Poli , he started his own business by founding Ars Murano with Roberto Cammozzo and Renzo Vianello.

I’ve inherited a solid glass frog with Elio engraved on the bottom. How would I know it’s authenticity? And, what monetary value is afforded?
