 DP_SB7BIS_AMAM
This stunning Murano Glass vase is an amazing example of Sbruffo technique, which at present is only used by very few masters on Murano island. This technique requires precision, skill, and patience that only the most prominent Murano Glass artisans have. The master wraps layers of blown colored glass around a vase and breaks them down, then puts new ones on top, creating an impression of flowing lava in magnificent colors. The floating fazzoletto shape of the vase makes the beauty of Sbruffo layers stand out even more and completes the image of elegance in combining classic and modern Venetian trends with the best of Murano glass-making.

• Measurements: The vase is approximately 9 inches tall and 7 inches in diameter in its widest part.
• This Murano glass masterpiece is signed by the master.
• Attached sticker further proves its Murano origin, as does the certificate of authenticity that comes with the bowl.
• Because each item is a unique work of art made by hand, slight variations of colors and patterns are possible.

Sbruffo is a distinctive Murano Glass design, which features rough-surfaces and multiple colors layered on top of each other. Sbruffo objects are made by putting layers of blown colored glass on top of a glass core, then breaking them off until just a thin and rough colorful layer on top remains. This process is then repeated over and over, until many rough layers are put on top of each other, creating an impression of flowing glass. The rough edges are then polished off. 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 and workshops 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.
