More Hide description

It’s called Goccia because of the shape that resembles a drop. Not only the external geometric surface but also the blow process consisting to submerged different blends of colored glass in the crystal, confer to the vase the appearance of a drop. XXL Amethyst Goccia Murano Glass Vase is handmade following the millenary Venetian tradition. Produced in the furnace with temperatures reaching 1400 ° where molten glass and colored minerals have been mixed together to give life to the amethyst color subsequently encased in the crystal glass and finally blown into a mold which can roughly define a shape and a size; the object is left to temper slowly in special ovens for 48/72 hours. The glasscreation moved from the Furnace to the Moleria to be modeled by hand with the aid of machinery through the use of grinding powders and using cold engraving techniques, ""beating"" (small incisions) or satin finishing. No two pieces are exactly the same because of their handmade nature. Small imperfections are not to be considered defects but merits that enhance the work done by hand. Glass does not contain lead and is pure glass.
