Sculpture, Cuore su base in vetro pulegoso - 9 cm - Murano glass

Entirely handmade in Murano, this small sculpture unites two souls of Venetian glass: the ruby red of a heart and the transparency of a crystal block full of bubbles. The heart, hot-modeled in solid ruby red transparent glass, has a soft and slightly asymmetrical shape, gracefully tilted, as if resting on its base in balance. The rounded, thicker edges define its profile, while at the center the color becomes deeper; when light passes through, the red brightens with warm tones, up to orange. At the base of the heart, where it is fused to the crystal, the glass reveals a thin golden veil. The base is a cube of crystal glass with a bubbled effect: the glass mass is traversed by a dense cloud of air bubbles, small and large, that catch the light and multiply it into brilliant reflections. It is a Murano signature technique, born in the 1920s, that gives the glass a lively, almost effervescent appearance. The surfaces of the base are smooth but intentionally imperfect, evoking a block of ice. The contrast between the full red of the heart and the sparkling transparency of the base makes the sculpture an elegant and symbolic design object, perfect on a desk, a shelf, or a nightstand. Thanks to the sturdy base, it can also be used as a paperweight. A special gift for an anniversary, for Valentine’s Day, or to say "I love you" with an object that lasts forever. Each piece is unique: the shape of the heart, the nuances of the red, and the arrangement of the bubbles vary from sculpture to sculpture. The bubbles and the small irregularities are a sign of handmade craftsmanship, not defects. Details Technique: solid glass shaped hot; base in crystal glass with bubbled effect. Dimensions: about 9 × 4.5 × 4 cm (height × width × depth). Colors: transparent ruby red, crystal. Conditions: new, never used. The sculpture is accompanied by an originality certificate, attesting to the Murano glass craftsmanship. Fast shipping, with careful and secure packaging.
