Splendid murano mosaic vase with a perfect color combination and complex mosaic technique. The stellato finish is made by rolling canes of various color over a small blob of incandescent glass. The design is attained by using the glass scissors at the end and making flat discs with a star design. All these are then heated on a flat surface, in the old time was a stone so this technique still carries that name, lavorazione a piera. It's heated so that it becomes an unique mosaic rectangular piece. It's then rolled with a glass disc that has the exact perimeter of the rectangular side. This makes the name that this technique is internationally known, Roll-up technique. The difficulty is to close into a cylinder the two other sides of the rectangle.

This stunning Murano mosaic vase features a perfect blend of opaque colors and a sophisticated mosaic technique. The stellato finish is achieved by rolling canes of various colors over a small blob of heated glass. Using glass scissors, flat discs with a star design are created. These discs are then heated on a flat surface, traditionally a stone (referred to as lavorazione a piera). The process continues by rolling the heated pieces with a glass disc matching the rectangular side's perimeter, known internationally as the Roll-up technique. Closing the remaining sides into a cylinder, adjusting the size, and shaping the final form through the punty technique and hand-opening are the challenging steps. The result is a unique mosaic vase with a complex design of stars in an endless array of matching colors. Referred to as the Stellato vase, this technique was enhanced and studied by Pollio Perelda...
