This exquisite box was produced under his own label, Burger Kunstglas, during the late 1950s, a period when Burger’s artistry was deeply intertwined with the prestigious Fontana Arte workshop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe box features a solid, dark wood base with chamfered corners, providing a warm contrast to the heavy, hand-cut crystal lid. The lid is decorated with a vibrant, jewel-toned abstract motif in deep ruby red, emerald green, and sapphire blue. This was achieved through the 'retrodipinto' (reverse-painting) technique, where the pigment is applied to the underside of the thick crystal, creating a mesmerizing depth and brilliance as light passes through the facets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally designed as a luxury cigar box (portasigari), this versatile piece now serves as a refined statement object for an office desk, a jewelry box, or a sculptural highlight in a contemporary interior. It represents the pinnacle of Italian mid-century craftsmanship, where functional design meets fine art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLength: 19\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWidth: 11\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeight: 6\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FormaFinds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57890121843020,"sku":null,"price":850.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1065\/2532\/7692\/files\/a7929f3e-c73e-4e35-8460-650d48b822be.jpg?v=1782402802","url":"https:\/\/formafinds.com\/products\/erwin-burger-burger-art-glass-box-italie-ca-1950","provider":"FormaFinds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
