Handblown Murano Inspired Glass Sculpture, "Vermilion Egg"
Air bubbles dance in a hypnotic procession around this translucent paperweight. Imbued with vermilion light, the effect is captivating. The Seguso Family crafts the piece by hand with the same legendary blown glass techniques of Murano, Italy.
The presence of air bubbles accentuates the nature of the traditional hand blown crafting process, making each piece unique.
Mario Seguso, the patriarch of the Seguso Family, was born in 1929 in Venice, Italy to one of the oldest and most famous blown glass artisan families on the island of Murano. His ancestors have crafted art glass since 1300. In 1956, Mario created his own workshop in Brazil. He has passed on his knowledge to his sons, grandsons and the artisans working with him. He is proud to have many assistants and to have trained eight glass masters in his workshop.
The Seguso Family provides work for a number of full-time blown glass artisans.
This artist is an elder master and continues to actively practice their craft.
This artist supports children under the age of 18.
