Murano Crystal Vases ‘Goccia Honey’ by Alessandro Maudruzzato

Goccia Honey is one of those Murano crystal vases that holds an unassuming beauty. Beautifully contoured by Alessandro, triangular panels sit around the glass. At the base of the vase, a drop of honey sits within its triangular prison. The hues that stem from the honey glass define the angular shape of the vase.

These glass vases are elegantly personified and deserve a place in your home and in your heart!

Goccia Honey holds an elegance true to Murano crystal vases. It will gain the admiration of all.

N.B. The images shown are an example of the ones in the series. Each piece is handmade and therefore there will be small variations in colour, shape and pattern. Each one is completely unique and signed by the artist.

Murano Crystal Vases Artist

Artist Alessandro Maudruzzato and the Mandruzzato family have developed their own particular style over four generations.  Founded by Benjamin Mandruzzato in 1934, the knowledge, skills and expertise have been handed down to the present day.  Alessandro is the fourth generation to head up the Mandruzzato family factory on Murano.

Gianfranco, Alessandro’s father worked on projects with some of the Arts greatest, Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall and Max Ernst. Such experiences, equipped Gianfranco to create geometric designs that were unique at that time.

Destined by his own love of glass and family tradition, Alessandro was determined to learn every skill and technique and attended many workshops.  In 2000, when his training was complete, he set out as an independent sculptor. Mixing other mediums with Murano glass he looked to create a contemporary flare.

Over four generations the Mandruzzato family have created a particular style unique to them. The cold craving of Murano crystal is a special technique consisting of 12 steps, involving cutting with manual machinery such as diamond wheels.  This process is reaped over and over till the desired shape is achieved. Each piece will have been worked on over 26 hours resulting in, no two pieces being the same.

A testament to his work, household names, such as Armani, Fendi, Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf & Goodman, Harrod’s, Nissan Motors, and Ajmal Dubai Perfums have all commissioned pieces.
