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.
This vase weighs 11.5 kilograms and its weight and size created great difficulty in handling it due to the complex stages of processing; it took 10 working days to make it. The object was created in Marcello Galgani's workshop in 1982 and made with the techniques (grinding, engraving, and polishing) that we explained in the introductory ; for the shape, the Master was inspired by a Medici vase preserved in the Villa Medici in Florence. Only two examples of this object are available. Measures diameter cm.28. height cm.50. The vase is in excellent condition. This piece has an attribution mark,
