ROSETA murrina, with green and gold, by FRATELLI TOSO MURANO, 1950 circa

About the Item

The vase is meticulously handcrafted using slices of the legendary "roseta" beads, originally created in Murano but exported in Africa, India and South America as precious jewelry and forms of currency. Roseta main characteristics are its opaqueness and a number of layers of glass, resembling internal stars in white, red, and blue hues. Roseta beads have been sliced by the skillful Fratelli Toso's glass masters, exposing the internal pattern and then skillfully arranged to create a mesmerizing mosaic, showcasing the artistry and craftsmanship of the Italian heritage. The slices have been used as murrinas, mixed and juxtaposed with ancient green and gold murrains, very rare. This one-off masterpiece is very rare and it well represents the uniqueness of traditional Murano glass making. It comes from Toso family private collection.
