Product Description

NOVICA, in association with National Geographic, searches the world to work directly with the finest artisan designers. Like a drop of dew refracting the light of midnight blue, this hand-crafted vase mesmerizes with liquid allure. Artisans employ patient glass-blowing techniques to achieve stunning decorative accessories, paying homage to the artistry of Murano, whose glaziers have heavily influenced Brazilian styles. 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."
