The cups and the central structure, including the ceiling cup, are made of bullicante glass, a technique that traps small air bubbles in the glass, giving it lightness and depth, typical of Barovier production at the time. Six long torchon glass arms support the large cups, while twelve glass leaves, six facing upwards and six curved downwards, enrich the composition with an elegant dynamic.
