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.
Original bowl with a square base; the decorations, typical of Art Nouveau, represent ferns and flowers, with the skillful addition of graceful little stars; the delicate, almost ethereal shape has a unique refinement; it can be used as a fruit salad bowl or as an elegant planter and even as a sophisticated champagne holder; the object made and signed by the Master, was created in Marcello Galgani's workshop in 1984, and made with the techniques we explained in the introductory , with particular accuracy and skill the perfect polishing was done. For the shape, the Master was inspired by several French crystal cups and centerpieces with a silver base from 1880 to 1885 and exhibited at the Silver Museum of Palazzo Pitti in Florence, creating a unique and original shape. The item is in excellent condition. Only 2 examples of this piece are available. Measures diameter cm.32, height cm.24. This piece has an attribution mark,
