Description from the seller

Balloton Vase in Murano glass – Master Valter Rossi
Elegant artistic vase in authentic Murano glass, entirely handmade on the island of Murano by Master glassmaker Valter Rossi.
The vase features a refined green shade and is embellished by 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 brightness, transparencies and depth of color.
The elongated profile, with a narrow neck and a contrasting upper edge, gives the piece an elegant and decorative look, perfect for both contemporary environments and collections dedicated to Venetian artistic glass.
Dimensions: H 16 cm × Ø 9 cm
Master glassmaker: Valter Rossi
Technique: Balloton
Material: Murano art glass
Color: green with contrasting edge
Made by hand in Murano – Venice, Italy
The piece comes with a certificate of authenticity, guaranteeing provenance and Muranese craftsmanship.
Being entirely handmade, each piece may present slight variations in shape, color and texture, characteristics typical of artisanal work 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.
