Murano pocket tray

Empty pocket produced in the 1970s and made in the tradition of murano glassmakers. Representing a rooster finely fluted at the level of the crest, its shape takes on a silhouette that is both graceful and generous. The shimmering treatment of its color makes it a unique object, which with the rays of the sun transforms depending on its orientation, into different shades of red. The treatment of the color left transparent at the level of the base, the beak as well as its crest gives it a light, almost airy side. The base is molded and suggests flower petals. Murano glass is renowned throughout the world for its coloring and its particular elaboration and makes the glassworks of venice famous. This technique of manufacturing “venice glass” was developed in the 13th century when the center of the industry was established on the island of murano. Murano glassmakers maintained their monopoly on the manufacture of quality glass for centuries, developing and refining numerous techniques, such as crystals, enamel, gold wire adornments, multi-colored glass (millefiori), milk glass (lattimo), and imitation glass gems. Today, murano artisans still use these centuries-old techniques. In a perfect state. Overall dimensions height 20 cm, length 12 cm, width 10 cm. Base diameter 6 cm. Weight 435 gr.
