AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Handcrafted entirely by hand in Murano, this set of 10 glass candies reinterprets one of the most beloved motifs of Venetian tradition: a touch of elegance for the table setting, as a place card or chopstick rest, and an original paperweight for the desk.

Each candy is hand-molded hot in solid transparent glass. The central body is wrapped with thin threads of milky white glass, spiraling like the stripes of a sweet. The two ends are pressed and hand-pleated, imitating the twisted paper of the candy: here the color becomes lighter and more transparent, and light passes through the folds of the glass, drawing colored reflections on the surface on which they rest.

The set brings together a palette of bright, fresh colors, dominated by sea tones: two in cobalt blue, one in turquoise blue, two in aquamarine, two in lime green, two in amethyst, and one in transparent crystal. Together they form a cheerful, luminous composition to be placed in a glass bowl, on a shelf, or at the center of the table.

At table, the candies enrich a lunch or dinner with a splash of color: a detail guests will remember. They are also a refined gift for lovers of artistic glass.

Each candy is unique: the white spirals, the folds at the ends, and the color nuances vary from piece to piece. Any small imperfections are the natural mark of hand craftsmanship.

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.
