Murano glass sculpture SAIL BOAT : WITH BASE

silver

Artwork in clear and chalcedony glass, worked free hand on a punty in solid glass. Ground and polished by hand once cold. Particularly difficult to realize, chalcedony glass has the peculiarity of joining the canonical glass sphere with silver salts and other coloring oxides: this extraordinary chemical process, coupled with the talent of the Masters of Murano, allows the creation of wonderful works in which an opaque background is streaked with enchanting warm and dark shades, a real turbine of lights and shadows capable of ravishing even the eyes of the most experienced observer.
