AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This decorative elephant-shaped sculpture in Murano glass is an elegant and refined handmade work, defined by the deep contrast between black amethyst glass and the brightness of 24 kt gold leaf.

The piece is handmade in authentic Murano glass. The body is molded in black amethyst glass, a color typical of the Murano tradition that appears deep black and, when backlit, reveals delicate purplish nuances. The full, soft forms enhance its solidity and its presence on stage.

The ears, shaped separately, are crafted using the sommerso technique: the 24 kt gold leaf is enclosed inside the transparent crystal, creating a sense of depth and warm luminous reflections that stand out against the black of the body.

The pairing of the elegance of black amethyst with the brilliance of gold gives the sculpture a precious, timeless character, making each piece unique and original. The elephant, symbol of strength, wisdom, and good fortune, adds a special meaning to the object.

This elephant is ideal as a decorative element, a collectible item, or a refined gift idea.

This piece is handmade by a master glassmaker on the island of Murano. As with every piece signed Bottega Isola, it has been selected among the island’s finest creations to offer only authentic, high-quality Murano.

The work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, attesting its provenance and originality.

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.
