GOLD PLATED ESCALE MOUNT, CLEAR MURANO GLASS, ONION SHAPE, INSERTED GOLD LEAF

Gold plated Escale mount.

Clear Murano glass

Murano glass is an extremely complex process. The techniques used to produce Marcel Franck glass bottles have been developed over centuries.

The glass-master rolls the flaming glass on the end of the blowpipe over thin leaves of gold. As the glass is blown, the leaves reduce to fine pieces into gold dust giving this beautifull effect.

The onion design with  vertical grooves is obtained by blowing the glass in an appropriate mould. The shape is then obtained freehand.

Supplied with a funnel.
