Hand-blown by skilled artisans, it features a gently tapered cylindrical form hand blown from rich cobalt blue glass.

Embedded within the glass are delicate air bubbles, appearing to float just beneath the surface. This effect is achieved through an age-old technique known as bullicante—a term derived from the Italian word bollicante, meaning "boiling." The name captures the visual texture of the bubbles, which resemble rising bubble in liquid, adding a sense of movement and depth to the otherwise sleek and restrained design. See less
