FU001 is a unique Murano glass sculpture by Eros Raffael, made in 2003 using the traditional a piera technique and measuring 50 × 13.5 × 13.5 cm.
Description from the seller
Created in 2003 by the renowned master glassmaker Eros Raffael, this monumental work represents a perfect union of Murano’s glorious tradition and contemporary design.
The piece was conceived as a modern reinterpretation of the classic Venetian glass: the lagoon’s historic forms are taken out of context and elevated through a significant increase in scale, transforming an everyday object into a unique, sculptural work of art with a powerful visual impact.
The piece belongs to a pivotal creative period for master glassmaker Raffael: the year 2003, during which his artistic research focused exclusively on mouth-blown glass, exploring the limits of volume, transparency, and formal lightness.
Technical Details and Style
Master Glassmaker: Eros Raffael
Year of Creation: 2003
Material: Blown Murano glass
Technique: “Piera” technique (traditional Murano technique of shaping and blowing over a stone/mold)
Type: Sculpture / Conceptual reinterpretation of the Venetian glass
Edition: One of a kind
Critical Note
The “piera” technique gives the glass an inimitable texture and a structure that is both solid and fluid. The ability to blow a piece of such proportions while maintaining the harmony of its lines bears witness to Eros Raffael’s exceptional technical skill and virtuosity. A work that celebrates glass at its purest and most masterfully crafted.
Be enchanted by the magic of Murano glass, reimagined through the extraordinary talent of Eros
Raffael.
