Colosseum Rome Square Plate
Description
Rome on a clear day. The Colosseum, symbol of the Eternal City for almost two thousand years, rises in warm travertine tones of cream, peach and burnt orange, its rows of arches picked out in soft grey. Above it the sky is a deep, streaked cobalt blue. At its feet stand white columns, dark green cypresses and beds of flowers made from tiny fragments of glass in red, pink, turquoise and yellow.
Every colour is its own piece of glass. Made with the glass fusion technique: sheets of coloured Murano glass are cut by hand, composed piece by piece and fused in the kiln, where the plate also takes its gentle curve. The outlines are drawn by hand and the smallest details are added grain by grain, so they stay raised on the surface.
Original Murano glass, made entirely by hand in Italy by master glassmakers: no two plates are ever the same. Display it as a centrepiece, on a stand or on the wall.
Material & craft
Art glass, coloured with minerals and worked entirely by hand in Italy. Each sheet is cut, layered and fired in the kiln, piece by piece.
- Handmade in Italy
- Fused art glass
- One of a kind: colour, bubbles and texture are never twice the same
Size & care
Sizes are approximate: every piece is shaped by hand, so dimensions can vary by a few centimetres from one piece to the next.
Dust with a soft, dry cloth. If needed, clean gently with a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid abrasive products, the dishwasher and sudden changes in temperature.
Shipping & returns
Timing depends on whether your piece is in stock. If it is, it leaves Italy as soon as it is packed. If it is not, we make it by hand for you: this takes from 2 to 6 weeks, the time the kilns and the handwork need. Either way, we will take care to get it to you as quickly as we can.
Every shipment is insured and tracked, worldwide. Full details on our shipping page and in our return policy.
