Handmade Murano glass GUITAR sculpture by the Masters Andrea Tagliapietra and Mirco Bastianello. This stunning creation has been made with Chalcedony or Calcedonio glass. The first recorded use of chalcedony glass in the Venetian lagoon dates back to the mid-fifteenth century but it was later lost. The technique rose from the ashes in the mid-eighteenth century, thanks to the ingenuity of ''Maestro'' Lorenzo Radi who once again, with great precision, uses that same composition and techniques used in the fifteenth century, creating simple and linear forms whose extraordinary effect is entrusted to the vast chromatic range of the veins.
The Chalcedony Glass is a combination of the canonical melt of glass with silver salts and other dye oxides. An extraordinary chemical process that allows mesmorising creations, each and every one born from the minds and the talent of the Muranese Masters.
No work is ever the same as another. Each sculpture is different in tone and color range, and a completely unique piece. Shades of malachite, onyx, agate, deiaspro and lapis lazuli. A whirlwind of colors capable of conquering the taste of anyone who sets their eyes on a work of such beauty.
''Maestro'' Andrea Tagliapietra and ''Maestro'' Mirco Bastianello are unquestionably the greatest representatives of this ancient art and they create masterpieces that furnish private collections all over the world.
