The technique of incorporating bubbles, known as 'bullicante,' involves trapping air within molten glass to create decorative patterns. This technique has been employed by glass artisans for centuries, with notable periods of popularity in the 19th and 20th centuries, particularly in Murano, Italy, and later in other glassmaking centers worldwide.
