The finish is enhanced by characteristic opalescent streaks, creating an opal effect – a delicate interplay of light and color on the glass surface.

Production technology:

Material: Sodium glass, mass-colored in malachite green, known for its high transparency and durability.
Forming process: Hand-shaping, allowing for an elegant and unique design.
Opal effect: The light streaks on the glass surface are the result of a special coloring and cooling technique in which metal oxides precipitate in a controlled manner, creating subtle, milky reflections and color gradients. This process enhances the artistic character of the pieces, adding a three-dimensional visual depth.
