Murano Blown Glass Vase and "Incamiciato"

About the Item

We kindly suggest you read the whole description, because with it we try to give you detailed technical and historical information to guarantee the authenticity of our objects. Blown Murano glass vase with a unique and original shape; the design is linear and simple but very proportionate and elegant; the shape, full of soft curves and rounded ends, captivates us with its unparalleled and elegant plasticity and lightness, also pleasing is the very light and shaded shade of green; inside is composed of white opaline glass. This vase was made by Maestri Muranesi with the technique of "incamiciatura," which consists of superimposing, as a first process, on the glass mass coming out of the kiln, one or more successive layers of glass of different colors; in our vase to the opaline white glass mass was superimposed the soft green color, dipping the white form just sketched in a crucible containing precisely the green glass; then the Master glassmaker put the whole thing back in the furnace for a few minutes and then blowing into the special barrel, helping himself with pliers and working it by hand gave the vase the desired shape, so the object was made entirely by hand and without the use of molds or models, thus creating a unique piece, just like a work of art. . The earliest records of this technique concern Benedetto Barbaria, who in 1815 made "blown glass with two layers of enamel." The vase was created between 1960 and 1964 with experience and unparalleled skill by a great Murano master in a magical, fascinating and artistic place: a handcrafted furnace in Murano. However, whoever the maker, the making of this vase confirms that the Venetian aptitude, celebrated over the centuries, for glassmaking is an alchemical combination of the material worked out by artisan intelligence with happy artistic intuitions; since ancient times Venetian artisans have been protecting and handing down the Art of Glass, always giving us valuable and unique works of art that fascinate us with their beauty.
