Argento e Murano - Sculpture, Coccinella - 3 cm - Silverplated

A refined object of art and collection that celebrates the mastery of Italian craftsmanship, uniting in a single piece two of the country’s most prestigious and historic artisanal traditions: Murano glassmaking and the art of Silversmithing.

The body of the ladybug is entirely hand-shaped by the master glassmakers of Venice. The shell stands out for a deep ruby red color, characterized by a profound transparency that captures light and yields unique reflections from every angle.

The classic spots of the ladybug are created by insetting authentic murrine into the glass—small masterpieces of geometric precision that attest to the complex, centuries-old Murano cane-working technique.

To balance the warm vibrancy of the glass, the head and base of the sculpture are finely crafted in polished silver. The metal joinery integrates seamlessly with the glass body, creating a harmonious union between the gleaming solidity of silver and the delicacy of Murano crystal.
