Mouth-blown venetian glass with 24k gold leaf & 3d enamel florals
a breathtaking eight-piece (7) hospitality set, including a tall, elegant decanter and six matching liqueur glasses. Crafted in a vibrant, saturated ruby red murano glass, this set is a masterclass in the tre fuochi (three fires) technique. This traditional venetian method involves multiple kiln firings to layer 24k gold leaf and hand-painted enamel, resulting in an opulent, tactile finish that has defined italian luxury glassware for decades.
the "tre fuochi" artistry
invented by the legendary salvadori studio, the "three fires" process creates a signature 3d effect:
the gilding: each piece is first mouth-blown, then hand-applied with shimmering 24k gold leaf.
the enamel: delicate floral motifs are "piped" onto the gold in slightly raised enamel. These trailing flowers are tactile and textured, catching the light as the glass is turned.
the composition: each glass features decoration on one side to showcase the clarity of the red glass, while the decanter features ornate detailing on two sides for a grander presence.
presence & utility
this set is designed for the refined service of cordials, liqueurs, or aperitifs. The 39.5 cm decanter features a tall, tapered silhouette and its original matching stopper, making it a spectacular centerpiece for a sideboard or holiday table. It is a premier choice for:
romantic gifting: an extraordinary valentine's or anniversary gift.
festive entertaining: adding a layer of venetian "fire" to a christmas or dinner party setting.
the collector: a rare opportunity to own a complete, coordinated tre fuochi service in a high-demand ruby hue.
