Very old technique, it started as a color that would be difficult to avoid. When furnaces were working on wood fire, the partial combustion of the wood created a smoke inside the crucible, the carbon residual in the melted glass gave a light amber color that you can see on the XVII chandeliers. Color generates had small variations from piece to piece. The way to attain this color is similar to the Japanese Raku, reducing the oxigen input, the fire starts creating reducent smoke (in italian fumo/fume). The technique was then perfectionated working over other colors. Metal oxides also change the color in reducent atmosphere. Today this technique is hard to acheive with the pure burning of natural gas, so it became a way to recognise antiques Sizes and color are varying from piece to piece but the group together is a whole. Measures listed are that of one of the largest one.
