AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Sfera XXL – Murano artistic glass, Master Valter Rossi
Important decorative sphere in Murano glass, entirely handmade on the island of Murano by master glassmaker Valter Rossi.
The work is characterized by the refined Balloton technique, a traditional Murano technique that creates on the surface of the glass an elegant embossed geometric pattern, highlighting brightness, transparency and delicate green nuances.
The spherical shape, soft and balanced, makes this piece particularly dramatic and suitable for both contemporary environments and more classic interiors.
Height: 19 cm
Model: Sfera XXL
Technique: Balloton
Master glassmaker: Valter Rossi
Crafted by hand in Murano – Venice, Italy
Being a product entirely handmade, any small variations in shape, colour or workmanship are intrinsic to artistic craft and make each specimen unique.
Shipping carried out with professional, careful and protective packaging, via fast, secure and trackable service.
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.
