Cased glass

Murano glass working technique

Cased glass is obtained by superimposing thin layers of colored glass. It is a delicate process that starts with the immersion of blown glass in a crucible of differently colored glass. Often, the master finishes the work with the application of gold leaf: an addition that further embellishes the product and gives an effect of great beauty.

Fine craftsmanship

This decorative technique dates back to the early 19th century by Benedetto Barbaria. It is a workmanship that is often imitated, but the original products are easily recognisable by touch for their absolute quality.
