AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Balloton Murano glass vase, Maestro Valter Rossi
Elegant vase in artistic Murano glass, entirely handmade by Master Valter Rossi.
The piece is made with the traditional balloton technique, a method that creates a refined raised texture on the surface of the glass, imparting depth and a captivating play of light reflections.
The red hue, intense and luminous, is enriched by delicate nuances that enhance the transparency of the glass and highlight its slender and balanced form.
A decorative object of great elegance, perfect for contemporary or classical environments, able to add a touch of light and refinement.
Height: 13x9
Handmade in Murano
Maestro Valter Rossi
An authentic piece of Murano tradition, expression of artisanal mastery and timeless design.
Seller's Story
I was born and raised on the island of Murano, where glass is not simply a material, but a tradition that is lived every day. Since childhood I breathed in the warmth of the furnaces and watched the master glassmakers transform incandescent matter into shapes, colors and light.
C growing up in Murano means learning early to recognize the value of true artistic glass: weight, transparency, murrine, the small imperfections that make each piece unique. This knowledge, developed in a family and artisanal setting, today allows me to select only authentic works, handmade on the island according to traditional techniques.
Each creation I present – vases, sculptures, decorative objects and lamps – is born from entirely manual work, without industrial molds. Color, shape and texture variations are not defects, but the signature of the artisan who made each single piece.
All works come with a certificate of authenticity, guaranteeing their origin and quality.
My objective is to offer not mere objects, but authentic fragments of Murano’s history, destined to endure over time and to bring into my clients’ homes the beauty and value of Venetian craftsmanship.
