What is peculiar about this made in Italy vase is that it is completely made by hand without the use of molds. They are manufactured with a traditional process in the furnace, where a mass of blue glass gets mouth blown individually. After that a layer of silver nitrate is added and with the contact with the burning glass it becomes silvered and shiny. Being blown individually, may differ between a product and the other which are believed to be characteristic of the product. Also the silver designs are random and unrepeatable. Each piece has the words “Murano” and the year of production engraved under the Armani casa logo. You can buy online at: www.armanicasa.com
