murano glass

Designed with elegant eloquence, this centrepiece is an original creation by the Molinari Family. They master traditional blown glass techniques to achieve the flowing lines and colourful artistry of this piece.

The presence of air bubbles accentuates the nature of the traditional hand blown crafting process, making each piece unique.

Sunshine yellow, ocean blue and rain forest green dance with orange and scarlet in a riot of festive patterns. Covering a crystalline vase with a spectrum of colour, the Seguso Family creates a joyous design. They work in the age-old techniques of Murano glass brought from Italy to Brazil by Mario Seguso in 1954.

Like rain droplets, bubbles cover the sprawling surface of this Murano-inspired art glass centrepiece presented by Brazil's Rodrigo honourio. A superlative example of the blown glass techniques that artisans on Murano Island in Italy have employed for centuries, the decorative centrepiece has irregular scalloped edges and an open form reminiscent of a water lily. A gorgeous smoky brown shade ensures the centrepiece will complement the colour scheme of just about any room.

Because each piece is individually crafted by hand, minor variations in colour, shape and weight are to be expected.

Seguso Family artisans create this magnificent art glass vase. colourful stripes climb from the crystalline base along its voluptuous curves. Its vivid elegance conjures the colour of Carnaval or a circus. The Seguso family has lived in Murano, Italy since the 1300s. Mario Seguso moved to Brazil in the 1950s and his family carries on his masterful blown glass techniques.
