Item History & Price
Vintage Blue Murano Trumpet Vase Controlled Bubbles Bullicante Art Glass.
Information behind the Controlled Bubbles:The “bullicante” effect is amongst the most famous glass making techniques of Murano, Italy. The controlled bubbles are obtained by placing a piece of molten glass inside a metallic mold with spikes, very much resembling a pineapple’s texture causing small holes on the surface creating a pattern all around the glass piece. After cooling down, the whole piec...e is submerged in molten glass again. This second layer completely covers the first one. This process is repeated several times, creating a pattern as complicated as the glass master crafter wishes.
