DESCRIPTION

Bucintoro — Murano Glass Venetian Mirror

Once a year, on Ascension Day, the Doge of Venice boarded the Bucintoro, a state galley so covered in gilded carvings that it blazed on the water, and was rowed out to the Adriatic. There he threw a gold ring into the waves and married the sea in the name of the Republic. Bucintoro the mirror carries that ceremony's gold: amber-gold glass flowers on a frame of shining engraved crystal.

The last Bucintoro, launched in 1729, was the most splendid of all. When Napoleon's troops took Venice they burned it in 1798 to recover the gold leaf from its carvings, and only fragments survive today. What could not be burned was the taste it embodied, the Venetian certainty that splendour belongs in everyday life, and that same certainty lives on in the island's mirrors.

Standing 140 cm tall, Bucintoro frames an octagonal central mirror with panels engraved by hand with stars and leaves. Its crest is crowned by three engraved round medallions, like portholes of light, and amber-gold twisted cords, glass leaves and flowers run all around the outline. It has the presence of a ceremonial piece and suits a grand entrance, a dining room or the wall above a fireplace.

Bucintoro is handmade in Murano by Fratelli Tosi, a family glassworks founded in the early 1900s by Romano Tosi and known worldwide for its Venetian mirrors and Murano glass furniture. It is made to order and can be produced in custom sizes and colours: ask us for a bespoke quote. Explore our Venetian mirrors, all Murano glass mirrors and the savoir-faire of Murano.

Hace un mes estuve en Venecia y no pude evitar fijarme en las increíbles figuras de cristal que abundaban por todos los rincones de la ciudad. Sin embargo, temía elegir algo y que no fuera auténtico, por lo que no me vi capaz de adquirir una de ellas en ese momento. Días después, al llegar a casa, seguí pensando y, casualmente me encontré con este elegante y profesional negocio. Después de tantos días de búsqueda y dudas, por fin elegí mi pieza, y no podría estar más encantada. Desde la página que está increíblemente diseñada hasta la desenvoltura del mismo paquete que contenía mi pieza, fue una experiencia realmente excepcional. Los detalles, la atención y el cariño dedicado a este arte veneciano y la profesionalidad que ofrece este negocio, en muy pocos lugares se ve. No suelo escribir reseñas, pero siento que este sitio tiene una gran capacidad de crecimiento y debe reconocerse en el mundo entero.

I've recently bought an artistic glass vase; the customer service was very fast and prepared, the expedition was really fast and the item came directly at my house. The product was even better than the photos in the ad. I'm really satisfied with my experience, I highly recommend this company.

I recently ordered it as a gift, and honestly I didn't expect it to look this refined. The colours and the finish…
