Crafted as a matched pair, each stands approximately 13.75 inches tall atop a sturdy 5-inch diameter base, ensuring graceful stability while evoking the slender spires of Venetian architecture.The body of each candlestick marries two iconic Murano techniques: deep cobalt blue filigrana glass, infused with intricate white latticino threads twisted into hypnotic, ribbon-like patterns that swirl like frozen waves or whispered secrets within the sapphire depths; and shimmering gold aventurine flecks, scattered liberally like stardust or flecks of captured sunlight, adding a luxurious sparkle that dances with every flicker of candlelight. The result is a mesmerizing interplay of cool, oceanic blue and warm, metallic gold—opulent yet refined, with a subtle heft that speaks to their hand-blown origins.Perfect for illuminating a dining table, mantel, or console, these pieces exude romantic grandeur, blending Art Deco poise with the whimsical allure of Italian Renaissance revival. They're not mere holders for flames but miniature sculptures that invite the eye to linger, their subtle imperfections a testament to the human touch that defines true Murano artistry. See less
