A Murrina Millefiori egg-shaped table lamp, Venice, modern
A modern Murrina Millefiori table lamp, crafted in Murano, Venice, in Italy. It features an elegant, egg-shaped design that captures the essence of traditional Venetian glass artistry. The lamp’s surface is covered in intricate, multicoloured glass patterns that create a vibrant mosaic effect when illuminated. Each colourful pattern, or "murrina," is carefully crafted and placed, showing an array of flower-like shapes across the surface. The lamp casts a warm, colourful glow when lit, highlighting the artistic details and bringing a lively, decorative touch to any space.
Murrina Millefiori, translating to "a thousand flowers," is a centuries-old Venetian glass technique that involves arranging slices of colored glass canes into floral patterns and then fusing them together. The Millefiori method dates back to ancient Roman and Egyptian times but was perfected in Venice, specifically on the island of Murano, famous for its glasswork. This technique requires exceptional skill and precision to create the distinctive, kaleidoscopic patterns. The lamp's design, rooted in this Millefiori tradition, is both a nod to Venetian glass history and a beautiful, modern interpretation of this timeless craft.
