Mixed Murrini Resistenza

From Patchen's 'Resistenza' series, this flattened vessel was created through the difficult technique called murrini, which involves making highly-patterned glass tiles, carefully composing hundreds of them into a mosaic, then fusing them together to construct a glass bubble all before and blowing the final shape.

This style of Resistenza is composed with a variety of murrine and cane (patterned rods of glass) that Patchen has created over a number of weeks. Since Patchen is always creating different murrine patterns, each Mixed Murrine Foglio is unique. This piece is large and double-encased in clear glass for great depth, optics and stability.

Museum Wax is recommended if added security is desired. Each piece is unique. Exact coloration and patterning will vary.
