Description

This bell pendant is hand blown from translucent Murano glass, with a kind of latte art swirl running through it. It looks to be by the hand of one of the key designers working with Murano, such as Fulvio Bianconi for Venini.

Produced by hand, the character of the piece is provided by the slight inconsistencies of the spiral. This simple bell form allows for the light to cover a wide area below. It emits a lovely warm glow
