Vintage Murano Curved Art Glass Objet d’Art Folded Bowl Swirl Large
magnificent bowl/vase centerpiece of white Murano crystal. The artwork is done according to the technique of the masters. It is mostly beige with flowing colors of orange and blue tones and white. It can be placed anywhere and I love to put flowers in it. For centuries Murano has conserved the art of glass as the tradition has been passed down from generation to generation for centuries! It is therefor impossible to describe just how and why this art is fascinating, its presentation would demand attention, and knowledge. The creation of glass begins with mineral sands fused to high temperature in refractory urns within the furnaces. In the first phase the sands come already mixed to create different types of glass, such as crystal or different colors such as zaffiro, and differing tonalities. Often the recipes for such glass come from estates with furnaces that can only hold the one type of glass.
