Svaja - Svaja - Paperweight - Glass

drop-shaped sculpture (also usable as a collectible paperweight) made by the prestigious Venini glassworks in Murano. The work is distinguished by a complex multi-layered workmanship that creates magnificent optical effects: Exterior: The main surface presents frosted glass, enriched by large circular 'lenses' ground and hand-polished that serve as transparent portholes. Interior: Through these smoothed windows one can see an extraordinary inner core made with the 'sommerso' technique. The design features vivid green-yellow tones in the upper part and ruby red in the lower part, separated by a ring of transparent crystal and enriched by a delicate treatment of submerged bubbles (bubbling effect) around the red sphere. At the base of the object the acid-etched signature "Venini" is clearly visible.
