Murano Opaque Glass Vase Stellato in the style Pollio Perelda for Fratelli Toso

About the Item

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 at Fratelli Toso. Other glass artists, such as Archimede Seguso and later Lino Tagliapietra, have also contributed to this method. Although this vase lacks signatures or labels, it retains the beauty and incredible craftsmanship associated with these renowned glassmakers.

  • Seguso for Bisazza White Scavo Corroso Murano Glass Vase 1993 Signed
    By Livio Seguso, Bisazza Vetro
    Located in Tavarnelle val di Pesa, Florence
    Unique large scavo vase. Here Bisazza used a theme that was popular at the end of the 1980s, the native American art. In particular the Navaho pottery. Scavo is made using a scavo technique of adding minerals over the hot shaped glass and a corroso finish that is to add acid with sawdust, to stay in place. The combination is of a great antique texture. Vase Jug with two handles. This collection belongs to the Livio Seguso production made under Bisazza ownership for a small period of the early 1990s. Livio continued his artist career with the freedom and the free state of mind that came from not owning a company. Similar path of Luciano Vistosi. Bisazza, the famous luxury mosaic company, continued Seguso models for the first part of the 90s. Then closed the furnace and continued to focus with his mosaic collection. His masters, Elio Raffaelli...
