Translucen and Turquoise Murano Glass, Aventurine Gold and Silver Flecks, Italy
About the Item
Traslucid and turquoise Murano Glass, aventurine gold and silver flecks, Italy.
What is Murano Glass? Is it glass made in a special place? Or made using special techniques? It is actually both. Murano glass is glass in a chemical sense of the word. However, Murano glass is as different from, say, the glass in your window panes, as Rembrandt paintings are different from an empty canvas. Murano glass is created only on the island of Murano, located within the borders of the city of Venice in Northern Italy.
Murano’s special glassblowing process is over a thousand years old, having been re-discovered by the local artisans from the ancient Roman glassware at the end of the first millennium and continuously developed and enhanced upon ever since. This glass is made from silica, soda, lime and potassium melted together in a special furnace at a temperature of 1500°C to reach a liquid state. Very thin layers of real gold or sterling silver are often added to the glass mixture (also known as gold or silver leaf), along with various minerals to give glass its vibrant colors and designs. For example, copper is used for Avventurina mineral-like sparkles, zinc is added for white color, cobalt for blue, manganese for violet, gold for red. The resulting liquid glass mixture is then mouth-blown and/or hand-crafted by master glassmakers in a series of elaborate steps using special techniques such as Millefiori, Sommerso, Reticello, Filligrana, Bullicante, and many others.

In 2001 he designed and produced the first objects that shaped his idea of bringing the magic of the elements of South America to the world. The seduction of the mix of natural materials of our land with its mountains, plains, and deserts reinterpreted by the design of Marcelo and his team, together with the skill of local artisans, make each AIREDELSUR object unique. Semiprecious stones, marbles, noble metal alloys merge with various organic components. The balance between the native and design trends are the soul of our brand.
