Crafted from rare Alexandrite (neodymium) glass, these pieces display a mesmerising dichroic color-shifting effect—shifting from a rich, radiant lavender-amethyst under natural daylight or fluorescent lighting, to a crisp, subtle blue under incandescent light.

The architectural design features an elegant, rounded bowl resting on a remarkably heavy, solid glass pedestal base. The bases are expertly executed using the iconic Murano Bullicante technique, sealing a perfectly controlled air bubble within the core of the stem to beautifully capture and refract light. Marrying sculptural Brutalist weight with refined Venetian craftsmanship, this complete set of 12 represents a rare find in pristine condition—perfect for a sophisticated vintage bar setup or an avant-garde tablescape.
