HAND BLOWN GLASS CREMATION URN, DIRWOOD, RETICELLO CANE, RAINBOW COLORS, n3601

£451.53

Height is 8.75" with lid on, Width is 6", Height without lid 6.75" This highly technical stunning hand blown glass urn was created using the complex Italian processes of reticello and glass canes. The vessel can be used as a cremation urn, but note the size is small. Reticello (Italian, "glass with a small network"), is a type of blown glass made with canes organized in a crisscross pattern to form a fine net, which contain tiny trapped air bubbles. The glass blown urn has very fine lines of the shades of a rainbow on clear glass, with a bubble in each section of the net. The bottom has been ground flat and polished, so it will be very stable and not wobble at all. Be sure to zoom in and see the fine detail in the design of this piece. It has been signed and dated on the bottom.
