AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Vaso Balloton in vetro di Murano – Maestro Valter Rossi
Elegant artistic vase in authentic Murano glass, handmade entirely on the island of Murano by the glassmaker Master Valter Rossi.
The vase features a refined turquoise shade and is adorned with the traditional Balloton work, a technique typical of Murano glass art that creates on the surface an elegant three-dimensional geometric pattern, capable of enhancing the luminous quality, transparency, and depth of color.
The slender profile, with a narrow neck and a contrasting upper edge, gives the object an elegant and decorative appearance, perfect for both contemporary settings and for collections dedicated to Venetian artistic glass.
Dimensions: H 16 cm × Ø 9 cm
Master glassmaker: Valter Rossi
Technique: Balloton
Material: Murano artistic glass
Made by hand in Murano – Venice, Italy
The work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, guaranteeing provenance and Muranese artisanal craftsmanship.
Being entirely handmade, each piece may present slight variations in shape, color, and texture, inherent characteristics of artisanal workmanship that make each piece unique.
Shipping carried out with professional, careful, and protective packaging, via fast, safe, and traceable 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.
