The glasses feature distinctive leopard-pattern detailing created through layered pigment applications on Murano glass. Each piece combines black and topaz tones with an opaque finish that creates depth and visual texture. The specialized glass technique produces a soft, dense surface while maintaining the durability of traditional glassware. This set of two offers matching pieces with unique chromatic variations that showcase artisanal craftsmanship.
A new project borne from ongoing research into the techniques and processes required to produce 'macchia' — a type of Murano glass — Stories of Italy presents 'Macchia su Macchia', a collection of glass pieces that continue the brand's deconstruction and reassembly of traditional Murano production methods. In removing the crystal layer typically applied to 'macchia', the items in the collection take on an opaque effect, while chromatic motifs materialise through the repeated applications of vibrant pigment and flakes. The result is layers on layers of a soft and dense texture — a guise that is wholly distinct from classic Murano glass yet undeniable in its roots and connection to the colourful glazes, marbles and pietre dure popular throughout ancient Italy. This set of two glasses combine black and topaz-coloured pigment in a leopard print-like pattern for a duo that tangibly demonstrates Stories of Italy's commitment to its key role in the creation of contemporary Italian art glass.
