I purchased this lovely vase centre piece personally in the Reno Schiavon’s gallery in Fondamenta Vetrai, Murano. It is an expertly crafted heavily battuto worked roll-up globe vase or center-piece composed of a core of black blown glass. The outer layer is the "roll-up" of pre-fused paste color canes with diamond cut pattern. This technique is distinguished primarily by the composition of the colors, achieved by heating together multicolor glass canes at 750°C which are then fused and blown with clear crystal.
The majority of these art pieces are then cold-worked and hand-ground by a diamond wheel. After cooling, the glass is enriched by difficult and delicate cold working details
Cutting the glass surface creates facets and texture, giving extraordinary contrasts and interesting optical effects.
Signed at the base Schiavon Murano, 1/1 (diamond cut).

Each one-of-a-kind vessel made by the Schiavon’s masters expresses harmony and balance and is completely handmade according to the ancient Murano traditions. The technique is distinguished primarily by the composition of the colors, achieved by heating together multicolor glass canes at 750°C which are then fused and blown with clear crystal. The majority of these art pieces are then cold-worked and hand-ground by a diamond wheel. After cooling, the glass is enriched by difficult and delicate cold working details. Cutting the glass surface creates facets and texture, giving extraordinary contrasts and interesting optical effects. Compositions of form, pattern and color are always different in each vessel, creating an art piece that can be considered absolutely unique in design.
