AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Made entirely by hand in Murano, this small glass sculpture tells the most romantic symbol of Venice: a gondola ride for two.
The gondola, hot-worked in glossy black glass, has the long, slender line of the Venetian boat, which lifts slightly at the ends. At the prow stands the “fero,” the characteristic decorative iron, rendered with fine parallel reliefs; at the stern the line ends in an elegant curl. Aboard, two hearts in transparent red glass lean against each other, like two lovers close together: when backlit, the red glows and fades into amber tones toward the tips.
The gondola rests on a cube-shaped crystal glass base with a bubbled effect, pierced by small air bubbles that catch the light and recall the water of the lagoon. The contrast between the deep black, the red of the hearts, and the transparency of the base makes the sculpture elegant and full of poetry.
A romantic gift for an anniversary, for Valentine’s Day, or to remember a trip to Venice. Perfect on a shelf, a desk, or a nightstand.
Each sculpture is unique: the shape of the hearts, the curve of the gondola, and the bubbles in the base vary from piece to piece. Any small imperfections are the natural mark of handcraft.

Seller's Story
Hi, I'm the founder of Bottega Isola. I was born and raised on Murano, and glass runs in my family: I grew up around the furnaces, surrounded by a craft my family has carried for generations. I've always been drawn to design and to handmade, one-of-a-kind objects, the kind that make memorable gifts for any occasion. Inspired by many cultures and design styles but rooted in my island's tradition, I create and select pieces that carry the history of Murano glass into today's homes and spaces.
Nothing here is chosen at random. Most designs go through several trials before they're just right, and each one has to bring something to the space it lives in, whether that's purpose, character or atmosphere.
Every piece is handmade on Murano by some of the island's most skilled glass masters, using techniques passed down for centuries. Each one comes with a certificate of authenticity and is carefully hand-packed in professional, glass-safe packaging, so it reaches you safely wherever you are.
