Absolutely stunning, rare, handcrafted Murano glass vase in black and copper. The rich layers of color and texture on this piece are created by first layering two sheets of different colored molten glass together, sculpting the piece, and then carving it to create the details and reveal the lighter colored glass beneath. This piece measures 21 centimeters by 19 centimeters; 8.3 inches by 7.5 inches.
Perhaps nowhere can the evolution of Murano glass design and decoration be observed so well as by viewing vases and vessels. Though sculpting glass into vessels is a practice as old as glass work itself, the colors, shapes, sizes and textures have constantly developed under the hands of Murano glass masters whose famous techniques of decorating vases go well beyond painting and carving to include: murrine/millefiore glass; glass of a thousand flowers, sommerso glass; layered glass with smaller glass sculptures embedded within, scavo glass; acid-washed textured glass, incalmo glass; multiple layered colors of glass, and, filigrana; glass with fine lines of color. This modern piece was created using techniques first developed on Murano during the 16th century.
