Chalice - Tipetto - Murano glass

Calice - Venetian Tippo
an elegant example of Murano hand-blown glass art, featuring a stem worked with flower decorations and gilt details.

The Tipetto is the traditional high-value goblet of Murano's artistic glassworks. Historically it was used as a true status symbol during European aristocratic banquets.

The Flared Cup: Made in extremely fine blown glass with graduated tones (smoked crystal / very pale amber).

The elongated trumpet-shaped form emphasizes the vertical thrust of the entire piece.

The Decorative Stem (The Gambo): Represents the core of the master glassmaker's skill. It features spherical knots alternated with elements shaped with hot-tinned metal tongs.

Floral Applications: At the center of the stem stands a splendid three-dimensional floral composition with pink petals and green leaves applied individually. Gold Inclusions: The decorated nodules that enclose the floral section feature submerged gold leaf inclusions, which give warm brilliant reflections and a sense of preciousness to the work.

Extreme lightness: Despite the visual complexity, the mouth-blown artisanal glass makes the object incredibly light to the touch.
