This set of six Bora glasses, designed by Carlo Moretti, is a fine example of Italian craftsmanship from the 1990s. Known for their bold color contrasts, these glasses are created using hand-blown Murano glass, blending black, red, and clear tones in a striking and sophisticated manner. The use of three contrasting colors in a sleek, minimalist form makes these glasses not just functional but also a statement piece in any collection or home bar setup.
The Bora glasses have a contemporary and bold design, each standing at 12 cm tall with a diameter of 8 cm. The glasses feature a clean, smooth surface with a slightly tapered body. The combination of clear, black, and red Murano glass creates a beautiful contrast, making them visually captivating. The set is in very good condition, showing only minimal traces of use. The glasses have been well preserved, and there are no noticeable cracks or chips, only slight wear consistent with age and use.
These glasses are worth it for several reasons. Firstly, they are hand-blown Murano glass, renowned for its exceptional quality and craftsmanship. Carlo Moretti's design adds a layer of historical value and design pedigree to the set, with its modern aesthetic that still respects traditional glassmaking techniques. The vibrant color combination and the craftsmanship behind each piece make this set a unique, collectible item that will elevate any table setting or glassware collection.
Designed by the well-regarded Italian artist Carlo Moretti, the Bora glasses are a part of the late 20th-century Italian glass design movement. Carlo Moretti, known for his modern take on traditional Murano glass techniques, has created some of the most iconic pieces in Italian glassware during this time. These glasses represent the fusion of classical craftsmanship and contemporary design, showcasing the precision and artistry for which Murano is famous.
