Description from the seller
Sphere XXL – Murano artistic glass, Master Glassblower Valter Rossi
An important decorative sphere made of Murano glass, entirely handmade on the island of Murano by master glassblower Valter Rossi.
The work features the refined Balloton finish, a traditional Murano technique that creates on the surface of the glass an elegant geometric relief pattern, highlighting its brightness, transparency, and delicate green nuances.
The spherical, soft, and balanced form makes this piece particularly striking and suitable for both contemporary settings and more classic interiors.
Height: 19 cm
Model: Sphere XXL
Technique: Balloton
Master glassblower: Valter Rossi
Handcrafted in Murano – Venice, Italy
As this is a fully handmade product, any small variations in shape, color, or workmanship are inherent characteristics of artistic craftsmanship and make each piece unique.
Shipping is carried out with professional, careful, and protective packaging, via a 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.
