Description
Guido Giovando used the glass blowing technique to make this Murano glass turtle and additionally used Murano Millefiori to decorate the turtle’s shell. Millefiori is a technique that creates glass patterns that look like flowers, hence the Italian name composed of the two words mille (one thousand) and fiori (flowers). Murano glass is known for its high quality and the artisans working with it are famous for achieving an ample colour palette. The sand used to make Murano glass comes from Switzerland and is very light, fine and pure, which is why the glass has such a good quality. It is made with a process where sand gets transformed into glass with the help of air and fire. This is known as blown glass.
