The floral murrini are handmade, close to the millefiori that has been used on comparable Italian art glass. 6 3/4" height x 5 1/4" width and a weight of 2 lbs.

Ken and Ingrid Hanson have worked together since their. Although traditional Italian and Swedish. Glass-blowing techniques inspire them, they employ a bold. And innovative color palette to create their unique and. The artists pay great attention to the detail of the surface decoration on their vessels.

They create brightly colored stripes and symbols of cane and murrini by hand forming and melting glass into various shapes. During the glass-blowing process they fuse these inclusions onto the surface of the glass. They often include 24K gold and pure silver leaf in many of their pieces. Check out the photos to see how beautiful this piece really is.
