Gump's San Francisco - Afro Celotto "Riscontro"

Description

Afro Celotto "Riscontro" Renowned glass master Afro Celotto creates artworks that blend centuries-old methods with a bold, contemporary vision. To create this piece's vibrant, swirling design, he twists together canes of colored glass, then slices and fuses them to create a grid pattern. Next, he blows and shapes the vessel's asymmetrical shape by hand, and etches deep grooves, or inciso, into portions of the surface with a diamond wheel. Prized by collectors around the world, Celotto's work is crafted entirely by hand at his studio on the Venetian island of Murano, a center of fine glassmaking since the 9th century. 9 1/2" L x 4"W x 20 1/2"H. Offered in our San Francisco store or through this website. One of a kind, subject to prior sale. Read more about Afro Celotto.
