AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Made entirely by hand in Murano, this small sculpture unites two souls of Venetian glass: the ruby red of a heart and the transparency of a block of crystal filled with bubbles.
The heart, hot-formed in solid ruby red transparent glass, has a soft, slightly asymmetric shape, gracefully inclined as if resting on its base in balance. The rounded, thicker edges delineate its profile, while at the center the color becomes deeper; when viewed against the light, the red warms into shades, up to orange. At the base of the heart, at the point where it is fused to the crystal, the glass reveals a delicate golden veil.
The base is a cube of crystal glass with a effervescent effect: the glass mass is traversed by a dense cloud of air bubbles, small and large, that catch the light and multiply it into brilliant reflections. This is a typical Murano technique, born in the twenties, which gives the glass a lively, almost effervescent appearance. The surfaces of the base, polished but deliberately not perfect, resemble a block of ice.
The contrast between the solid red of the heart and the sparkling transparency of the base makes the sculpture an elegant and symbolic design object, perfect on a desk, a shelf, or a nightstand. Thanks to the solid base, it can also be used as a paperweight. A special gift for an anniversary, for Valentine's Day, or to say "I love you" with an object that lasts forever.
Each piece is unique: the shape of the heart, the nuances of the red, and the arrangement of the bubbles vary from sculpture to sculpture. The bubbles and small irregularities are the mark of handcrafted work, not defects.

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.
