RAAK Pendant in Smoked Pulegoso Glass and Brass

RAAK Amsterdam, pendant, brass, glass, The Netherlands, circa 1968.

Pendant with brass fixture and raindrop glass with a smoked-golden tint. The glass, which is called Pulegoso, contains numerous bubbles of all sizes. Not surprisingly, the word pulega translated from Italian to bubble. This effect is achieved by adding bicarbonate of soda, gasoline, or other substances to the glass melt. Canopy, stern and fixture are made of brass and show an admirable patina. The structured glass pendants are designed by the Dutch lighting company RAAK Amsterdam, a significant Dutch lighting manufacturer of the 20th century established in 1954 by Carel O. Lockhorn.
