About the Item
This remarkable creation by Vanessa Mitrani blends the poetry of hand-blown glass with the powerful presence of an authentic 20th-century Ashanti bronze bracelet from Benin. The artist blows a vibrant emerald-green glass directly onto the bronze piece, creating a striking fusion between ancestral craftsmanship and contemporary design. The molten glass naturally embraces the bracelet’s sculptural contours, forming a unique vessel where transparency, texture, and metal interplay with exceptional harmony.
The deep emerald tone evokes a sense of preciousness, enhancing the graphic lines of the Ashanti ornament and transforming it into a luminous, collectible object. True to Mitrani’s signature style, this piece stands at the crossroads of function and art: it can be displayed as a vase, admired as a sculptural centerpiece, or collected as a one-of-a-kind artwork.
A refined dialogue between cultures, materials, and eras—elevated by Mitrani’s unparalleled glass-blowing mastery.
