A hand-blown glass vessel secured within a forged iron cage on a sturdy pedestal base — a technique tracing back to Roman times, revived with passion by Venetian and Murano artisans during the mid-century modern era.
The iron frame protects the delicate glass while adding sculptural drama. Stunning as a standalone centrepiece or styled with dried flowers and foliage.
