This whimsical Murano Glass elephant is created in one of the most popular and distinctive Murano techniques- Millefiori (a thousand flowers)- that has become a trademark of Murano glass making. Vivid stylized flowers on rich golden background create an impression of magical quilt, whose fragile beauty is impossible to describe. The unusual and festive look of millefiori glass gives this Venetian elephant sculpture a fairy-tale feel and reminds one of far-away exotic lands where these amazing animals live. This Murano Millefiori Elephant sculpture will become the focus of attention in any room of your house and will really shine with all its gorgeous warm colors when light reflects on it. The Murano Glass elephant also makes a uniquely appropriate present to the special people in your life, as it is truly a one-of-a-kind piece of art. Pair it with other items from Golden Quilt Millefiori Collection for a more striking effect. Measurements: The elephant is 4.5 inches tall and 3 inches wide in its widest part. It comes with a certificate of authenticity.

Workmanship
Murano Glass Millefiori, also known as a thousand flowers, is a glass-making technique invented in ancient Egypt, perfected in ancient Rome, then forgotten and reinvented again on Murano island. Dipping a blob of hot malleable glass into pre-cut pieces of Millefiori made from a special millefiori cane, the master creates a design of a thousand flowers on the surface of the glass and then heats the glass again to fully bind the millefiori pieces to the surface. Often 24K gold foil is wrapped around the object and fused into it to create unique sparkly appearance with Millefiori design. The master then sits on the bench and works the hot glass to create the desired shape and design, repeatedly reheating the glass. This is how Murano Glass Millefiori figurines, sculptures, vases, bowls, and many other artistic objects are created by hand in Murano Glass factories.
