To create this distinctive "woven" look, artisans comb layers of platinum and ivory enamel over mouth-blown glass. A final firing in the kiln fuses the enamel to glass. The platinum enamel gives each piece a subtle shimmer; the hand-applied process makes each piece unique. Made in Italy. Please be aware that tiny bubbles may randomly appear within an item. This is part of the handmade nature of our production and is not considered defective.
