About the Item

An egg-shaped sphere with internal decorations in multiple shades of gold and transparent. A sculpture of the highest quality, one of a kind in Murano. A classic of Murano glassmaking, the egg-shaped sphere remains a status symbol in Murano. This particular one is a true work of art from the Murano furnaces; transparent in color with internal decorations in gold and a light shade of pink. A highly complex process of bulicante glass, it's a unique technique that involves trapping tiny air bubbles within the glass. The Murano furnaces create an undeniably timeless design, simple yet elegant. This technique is used to create solid and complex forms. Large masses of incandescent glass are shaped directly with tools and manipulated to achieve the desired shape, as in the case of sculptures with many spheres of varying sizes. Price includes packaging and wooden crate.
