This artistic Murano Glass Pitcher tastefully combines the ancient Venetian tradition of glass-making with contemporary trends in style and design. The pitcher is handmade by world-renown glass artisans on Murano Island in Italy, where beautiful and unique glass objects have been continuously crafted for over seven hundred years. Influenced in equal measure by contemporary Italian views on design and by the colors and lights of Venice, the artisans created this unique carafe that will be the centerpiece of the table and the talk of the dinner. This is a very functional piece, fit for serving wine, water or soft drinks. With patterns evoking Picasso paintings and gentle shimmer of genuine silver fused in the glass, this glass wine carafe makes a fine gift to anyone who values high-quality craftsmanship and Venetian artistic tradition.
This beautiful authentic Murano Glass Pitcher / Carafe is handmade using only traditional glass-making methods by acclaimed Murano artisans, whose families have been in this craft for generations.
Measurements: The glass wine carafe is approximately 9 inches tall. The diameter of the opening is 5 inches. The diameter of the base is 3 inches. The pitcher is lined with genuine 925 silver. It is very well packaged to avoid damage in transit and is accompanied by the certificate of authenticity and the sticker confirming its Venetian origin.Because each Murano Glass piece is a handcrafted work of art and due to the unique features of the glass-making technique, some variations of colors and patterns will occur. This is not a defect but a sign of authenticity and special value of Murano Glass where two items can never be made exactly the same.
Workmanship
Sbruffo is a distinctive Murano Glass design, which features rough-surfaces and multiple colors flowing into each other. Sbruffo objects are made by putting layers of colored glass on top of each other streak-by-streak without polishing them, creating an impression of flowing glass. Using multiple colors and unique forms, the masters make tumblers, glasses, vases, bowls, and sculptures with sbruffo designs, which are instantly recognizable as authentic Murano Glass. Only a few Murano Glass factories still create sbruffo art glass objects, and many interior design aficionados, collectors and Murano Glass fans seek these objects of refined beauty and distinct Italian elegance.
