Chalcedony Violin

Sculpture of a violion in Murano glass, made using the Massello and Calcedonio techniques.
There's nothing a great Muranese glass master can't achieve. Take this Murano glass Violin for example: its dimension and weight make it difficult to create. Still, the skilled hands of maestro Tagliapietra have given birth to an exquisite replica of the instrument.

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.

Please note that with the chalcedony technique, the color of the item can vary unpredictably. You may request photographs of the product before purchasing. Without such a request, returns or exchanges due to color discrepancies will not be accepted.
