AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant vase in authentic Murano glass, handmade in its entirety by Maestro Valter Rossi according to the Murano glassmaking tradition.
The vase features a refined amber-golden tone, enhanced by the use of real 24 kt gold leaf incorporated into the glass during the working. The particular bubble technique creates small luminous details inside the glass mass, capable of capturing and reflecting light with great effect.
The soft, fluted form, with a wavy upper opening, highlights the manual craftsmanship and gives the vase an elegant and refined decorative character.
Being completely handmade, each piece shows slight differences in shape, in the bubbles and in the distribution of gold: features that testify to the authenticity of the artisanal craftsmanship and make every piece unique.
Characteristics:
- Master: Valter Rossi
- Origin: Murano, Venice – Italy
- Material: Murano artistic glass
- Color: amber
- Decoration: real 24 kt gold leaf
- Technique: bubble processing
- Dimensions: H 12 × Ø 15 cm
- Entirely handmade
- Unique artisanal piece
Ideal as a small decorative vase, a collectible item or a refined decorative element.
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.
