This breathtaking sculpture by renowned Murano glass artist Loredano Rosin is a window into the cosmic. The ovoid form was crafted using the rare chalcedony glass technique, in which various mineral oxides are added to glass mixtures fused under high temperatures. The results are remarkable coloration effects like those seen in this sculpture. Here, the vivid cobalt and striations of gold are reminiscent of planetary nebulae, with a transparent teardrop form suspended in the center. The back of the sculpture is speckled with opaque pale blue glass, giving it the appearance of a precious stone. Extraordinary from every angle, this sculpture is sure to be the decorative highlight of any room!
