Description
The Gambaro & Tagliapietra manufactory is characterized by the production of designer glass objects (perhaps the most classic and popular type of product along with chandelier processing): small and large superior masterpieces of craftsmanship, ranging from classic elements – stylish bowls, unconventional vases, plates, original animals, chandeliers, timeless table lamps, luxurious decanters, glasses, sculptures - to actual collection pieces made exclusively and in limited editions for sophisticated clients seeking uniqueness.
The history of Murano glass has very deep and ancient roots in Venice. It has moments of glory and success alternating with phases of difficulty and crisis. It is extraordinary and unique that on this small island of the Venetian lagoon, for over eight centuries, the art of glass has reached a level of elegance, technique, and skill that is incomparable to any other glass reality in the world: "there is glass and there is Murano glass"! Ancient techniques are combined with an innovative approach to the entire painstaking production process, as only such a blend gives an exclusive whole. Gold flakes, intense pastel colors, somewhat childish and abstract, the use of silver on a black glass base - these are the exceptionally juicy distinctive features of the brand.

| Materiały i techniki produkcji | AVVENTURINA – glassy paste invented by Murano glassmakers in the 17th century. Small, lamellar crystals of glassy copper, shining like stars. Extracted in blocks from the kiln, already slowly cooled, and its transformation can seriously affect its characteristic appearance. It is then cut cold like a hard or hot stone using special means. Metal form with cross-relief effect on glass. The bullying or "bubble" effect, consisting of countless very small air bubbles between two layers of glass. A particular decorative effect used in thick glass and consisting of a multitude of "bubbles", large or small, arranged in superimposed layers in a glass wall. A semi-finished product consisting of a massive or perforated vitreous "wand" and then cut into sections of various lengths. This is already documented in 15th century Murano glass, which refers to the master as a "canér" (canker). Venetian crystal. A type of decoration obtained by heating, by placing blown glass wire around the walls, which is then "combed" with a special tool to obtain repeating festoons. Filigree - A refined hot decorative technique, invented in Murano in the first half of the 16th century. Complex processing of "filigree" blown glass requires the use of crystal rods, previously prepared from vitreous "lattimo" or colored, smooth or spiral threads. |
