Product Description

NOVICA, in association with National Geographic, offers thousands of limited edition and one-of-a-kind gifts, jewelry, and home decor treasures handmade by master artists and artisans throughout the world. Deep blue fills the inner surface of crystalline glass. Sleek and sinuous, it seems to turn like a serpent as it uncoils and stands. Skilled Murano glass artisans craft this extraordinary vase by hand, employing techniques brought to Brazil from the island of Murano in Italy. The presence of air bubbles accentuates the nature of the traditional hand blown crafting process, making each piece unique. Artisan Info: The Murano Artisans of Brazil have been featured in magazines ranging from In Style to Natural Health. Many Italians immigrated to Brazil in the early 20th century, including families from the island of Murano near Venice. Antonio Carlos, NOVICA's leading art glass designer in Brazil, was taught directly by Aldo Bonora, the first Italian master to arrive in Brazil from Murano Island. "With talent and courage we present unique works of art. Liberal colors and fascinating contours characterize our style. Today, we are dedicated primarily to exclusive decorative items. We create original designs and colors, intended for the most demanding public that appreciates Murano glass artistry."
