Murano Glass Manta - Small

Sculpture of a Manta Ray in Murano glass, made using the Massello and Calcedonio techniques. 
Maestro Tagliapietra has taken inspiration from the creatures of the ocean to create a stunnin reproduction of this beautiful animal.

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.

Murano crystal glass and chalcedony.
