Marcello Galgani began his craft as a grinder and restorer in 1960; as the years went by, Marcello mastered and became familiar with particular techniques and shapes, resulting in the production of objects that manage to retain the freshness of grinding and engraving, the warmth and softness of light, and the inimitable flavor of unique artifacts. All of the objects were made entirely by hand with old grinding wheels, but there were mainly two tools that allowed the creation of masterpieces: the right hand and the left hand of the master craftsman. Ancient glassmaking techniques were used for all the ground and engraved products.
Large crystal vase in the shape of a chalice with a smooth round base; the delicate and pleasant decorations are in Neoclassical style; but the most important part is the diamond part in fact normally the diamond polishing was done by machine or a pre-printed diamond on the object was polished, on this vase it was done completely by hand with an amazing and extraordinary result! The object is "a unique piece" signed by the Master, it was executed in Marcello Galgani's workshop in 1985 and made with the techniques (grinding, engraving, and polishing) that we have explained in the introductory ; for the shape, the Master was inspired by some vases of ancient Bohemian manufacture preserved at the Bargello Museum in Florence, however, he personalized his vase creating a rare and precious object. Measures diameter cm.16, height cm.43. The vase is in excellent condition. This piece has an attribution mark,
