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. Shaped like an apple, this paperweight combines green and yellow pigment for a stunning item that tangibly demonstrates Stories of Italy's commitment to its key role in the creation of contemporary Italian art glass.
Green/yellow murano glass Macchia apple paperweight from Stories of Italy featuring abstract pattern print, two-tone detail and curve-edge body.
