Sculpture of a turtle in Murano glass, made using the Massello and Calcedonio techniques.
Maestro Tagliapietra has taken inspiration from the creatures of the sea for this turtle.
Its peculiar colors are due to the calcedonio technique. The coloring effect is obtained by adding to the molten glass a mixture based on different metal oxides. The results are incredible.
Hand-made in Murano by Andrea Tagliapietra, following the ancient Murano glass techniques.
