Defined by a subtle green hue and intricate bubble inclusions, this piece evokes a sense of movement and lightness, with playful nodules accenting the surface like droplets frozen in time. This iconic design beautifully reflects light and is perfectly scaled for use as a centerpiece on an entryway console or dining table.

The Barovier dynasty traces its roots to 1295, when Jacobello Barovier, a master glassblower, began transforming molten sand and minerals into incandescent works of art. For centuries, the family maintained its legacy, crafting exquisite glass pieces until the mid-20th century, when it merged with another renowned glassworks to become Barovier & Toso. This evolution reflects a commitment to artistry and tradition that endures to this day.
