Rosso 13.5 X 11.5 Inch Glass Vase

The Rosso Glass Vase is made of Venetian mouth-blown glass into which glass pieces and beads in a vibrant array of colors have been embedded, providing the surface of the red vase with a highly textural feel. This piece is extremely difficult to make because the glass is very dense, illustrated by how heavy the vase is, which makes it more challenging to blow. As one artist is accomplishing this task, another throws the small bits of glass onto its surface. Timing is key: too early and the pieces melt; too late and they will not adhere.
