About the Item

This mid-century Murano ceiling light is adorned with delicate white thin stripes. The shape of this fixture resembles a covered lantern, and the spirals create soft patterns on the wall when illuminated. The striping comes from the Filigrana technique, a style of blown glass that originated in the 16th century on the island of Murano, Italy. "Filigrana" is Italian for "filigree glass" and refers to blown glass made with colorless, white, and sometimes colored canes. The glasshouses on the island of Murano are famous for their highly ornamented glass chandeliers made of pincered and molded blown glass. This elegant fixture showcases a mastery of Venetian glass craftsmanship. This spiraled piece is truly mesmerizing and would be a wonderful addition to any bedroom, kitchen, or study. Dimensions with ceiling cover: H=15 in. W=13 in. D=13 in. 5 lbs.

The discs are individually handblown elements, with the tiers alternating in color between amber and cristallo glass spotted with white pigment. The spots are created by rolling the molten glass in a cluster of white glass pieces before hand-blowing each piece. As each glass form is shaped, the white glass stretches and softens in appearance. This chandelier style is modeled after pieces by Italian designer Gino Vistosi for Venini...
