"Biancospino"

Now Available! Shop Now at MyAmericanCrafts for this sublime handcrafted vase titled "Biancospino" from the Venetian glass workshop of Reno Schiavon.

"Biancospino" translates to "hawthorn" in English; a small flowering tree with white or pink blossoms.

This lovely vase emulates the fresh green and gold of the hawthorn's leaves and branches with bursts of white cane work as the flowers.  Glass canes (a rod of glass that usually has a central core of colored glass) are manipulated to create swirling spirals of green and white. Areas of the vase are also cut with a copper wheel engraver in patterns to add depth, texture, and surface interest.

In world-famous Murano, under the guidance of Glass Master Reno Sciavon, brothers Mattio and Silvio Toso have succeeded in evolving the art of glass while maintaining the tradition of centuries.

Artist authentification included.
