Each piece is handmade to order — please allow around 2 weeks for production before dispatch.

Summer note: like every furnace on Murano, our workshop closes for the Italian summer holidays around Ferragosto (mid-August). Orders placed from mid-July to the end of August may require 1–2 additional weeks of production. We will always confirm your dispatch date by email.

As every piece is mouth-blown and finished entirely by hand, slight variations in colour, size and form from the photographs are natural — and make your piece truly one of a kind.

DESCRIPTION

Aquarium — Murano Glass Sculpture

This is Murano showing off. A solid block of crystal, and inside it — suspended, impossibly — a shoal of coloured fish. The technique is called sommerso, "submerged": the fish are formed first, then drowned in layer after layer of clear molten glass until they float in the middle of a transparent stone.

It is one of the most difficult things the island makes. The glass must be built up slowly and evenly, because a single bubble or a cooling crack ruins weeks of work. Hold it to a window and the fish seem to move. Nineteen centimetres of pure Venetian showmanship.
