murano hand blown glass

The Molinari Family are a group of Brazilian artisans who craft masterful pieces of art glass using the methods they learned from emigrants of Murano, Italy. They craft this art glass vase by hand using green and amber pigments to create the beautiful two-tone design. Appearing almost as the twisting vortex of a tornado, the vase's shape creates wonderful undulating spirals of color as tiny effervescent bubbles dance across the entire vessel.

Because each piece is individually crafted by hand, minor variations in color, shape and weight are to be expected. The presence of air bubbles accentuates the nature of the traditional hand blown crafting process, making each piece unique.

Glowing a deep translucent green, this petite bud vase is perfect for a single flower or simply to add a touch of beauty to any interior. The Seguso family has lived in Murano, Italy since the 1300s. Mario Seguso moved to Brazil in the 1950s and his family carries on his masterful blown glass techniques, such as this petite but enchanting work of art.
