Admirers of the most famous export of Murano, Italy, can find sumptuous reimaginings of glassware much closer to home. Dante Marioni: Blown Glass presents more than 125 color photos of the California-born Marioni's delicately elongated vases, glasses and flutes amply justifying the Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation's recognition of his work. Corning Museum of Glass curator Tina Oldknow provides commentary; other essays and appreciations are also included in this Antiques Roadshow Book Club Main Selection. ( Feb.)
