Provenance
Source Barry Friedman Ltd. - 2000-2015-04-07
purchased by Barry Friedman from Clara Scremini, a Paris dealer, in 2000. Scremini acquired the stone from a Dutch private collector, who was one of the first to collect midcentury Bohemian glass in the 1980s and early 1990s. There is a good chance that Scremini’s Dutch collector was George Broft.
