This stunning Murano mosaic vase features a perfect blend of opaque colors and a sophisticated mosaic technique.
The stellato finish is achieved by rolling canes of various colors over a small blob of heated glass. Using glass scissors, flat discs with a star design are created. These discs are then heated on a flat surface, traditionally a stone (referred to as lavorazione a piera). The process continues by rolling the heated pieces with a glass disc matching the rectangular side's perimeter, known internationally as the Roll-up technique. Closing the remaining sides into a cylinder, adjusting the size, and shaping the final form through the punty technique and hand-opening are the challenging steps.
The result is a unique mosaic vase with a complex design of stars in an endless array of matching colors.
Referred to as the Stellato vase, this technique was enhanced and studied by Pollio Perelda at Fratelli Toso. Other glass artists, such as Archimede Seguso and later Lino Tagliapietra, have also contributed to this method. Although this vase lacks signatures or labels, it retains the beauty and incredible craftsmanship associated with these renowned glassmakers.
