Murano Glass Ikebana Cup

Centerpiece in Murano glass, made using the Massello and Calcedonio techniques.
Ikebana is the Japanese art of flower arrangement. Maestro Tagliapietra celebrates this ancient tradition with a minimalist centerpiece vase. 

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.
