Sculpture, Gondola degli Innamorati - 23 cm - Murano glass - 2026

Wholly handmade in Murano using lampworking, this sculpture tells Venice and love in a single, delicate image of glass. The gondola, in solid glossy black glass, is hand-shaped in a long, slender line. At the bow the characteristic iron prow, stylized with fine engravings evoking its famous "teeth"; at the stern the line ends in an elegant curl. In the center, two hearts of transparent red glass, applied hot, tilt gently toward each other, like two lovers during a gondola ride. When lit from behind the red glows with warm orange hues. The gondola rests in balance on a crystal cube worked with the pulegoso technique: a dense pattern of air bubbles, deliberately created in the glass, giving it a lively, tactile look, like the water of the lagoon moved by the current. On this base the gondola seems to float, suspended. Pulegoso is one of the historic Murano glass techniques, made famous in the 20th century and still loved today by collectors for its unique character: no two bubble patterns are ever the same. A romantic and refined work, perfect as a gift for an anniversary, a wedding, or Valentine’s Day, or as a precious keepsake of Venice. Each sculpture is unique: the shape of the hearts, the pulegoso pattern, and the gondola details vary from piece to piece, a sign of the entirely artisanal craftsmanship.
