Set of five hand-made Murano glass drinking glasses from Italy, each about 11 cm tall and 9 cm in diameter, multicoloured with graniglie and murrine and with hand-applied exterior glass cords, in new condition.
Description from the seller
This set of five Murano glass art glasses is a particularly sought-after composition, handmade in Murano according to the traditions of Venetian glassmaking, reinterpreted through a contemporary and highly decorative design.
Each glass features its own color combination and is characterized by submerging colored glass granules and murrine into the molten mass, creating a visually rich, luminous surface that is never perfectly uniform. The granules, embedded in the glass during shaping, generate shades, color variations, and a distinctive sense of depth.
The most distinctive element of the collection is represented by the glass cords, individually applied by hand by the master glassmaker on the exterior surface of every glass. These applications serve not only a decorative function: their slightly raised shape gives the glass pronounced three-dimensionality, making it particularly interesting to the touch.
The cords themselves feature complex coloration achieved through the use of colored glass granules, which create within the applications shading, veining, and color variations visible through transparency.
The set includes five different color interpretations: deep blue with amber tones, light blue with turquoise details, green with yellow-lime applications, white with red elements, and pink with yellow applications. Some glasses also feature decorative murrine inserted as small graphic accents within the composition.
Subtle differences in shape, arrangement of the applications, and distribution of granules are natural characteristics of manual artisanal workmanship and make each glass unique from the others.
This is not merely a set of coordinated glasses, but a true collection of artistic glass objects, designed to be used while also appreciated as decorative elements. The irregular surface of the applications, the texture of the glass, and the weight of the piece also make each item particularly pleasant to hold.
Each piece is handmade; any minor irregularities, color variations, or slight dimensional differences are inherent to the manual glassmaking process and are part of the work's uniqueness.
Dimensions of each glass:
Height: about 11 cm
Diameter: about 9 cm
Set consisting of 5 glasses.
Shipping with professional, careful, and secure packaging, designed specifically to protect glass objects during transport.
