A Crystalline Symbol of Eternal Peace.
Introduce a symbol of serenity rendered in the world's most prestigious artistic medium. This handcrafted white Murano glass dove sculpture is not merely a figurine; it is a crystalline testament to Venetian mastery, capturing ethereal grace in solid form designed for the refined interior.
The Authority of Venetian Light. Born in the historic furnaces of the island of Murano, Italy—the undisputed epicenter of art glass for over seven centuries—this piece embodies true artisanal authority.
Achieving this specific, pure luminous white—reminiscent of polished alabaster or pristine cloud—requires exceptional discipline from the maestri vetrai (master glassblowers). Unlike highly colored glass that can mask minor imperfections, white glass demands flawless execution; there is nowhere for a flaw to hide. Each curve of the wing and arch of the neck is sculpted by hand while the material is incandescent, capturing a fluid moment of movement that cools into permanent grace.
A Minimalist Sanctuary. In a contemporary setting, the Venetian Dove acts as an oasis of calm. Its sleek, minimalist silhouette allows it to command attention without creating visual clutter. Whether placed against dark joinery to create striking architectural contrast, or situated on a sunlit surface where light can interact with its translucent edges, it brings an immediate sense of sophisticated tranquility to a room.
For the collector requiring definitive standards of authenticity:
Subject: Stylized Minimalist Dove.
Origin Authenticity: 100% Handcrafted strictly on the island of Murano, Italy.
Material Provenance: Authentic Venetian Murano Glass formed from silica, soda ash, and lime.
Color Technique: Pure white achieved through the precise addition of mineral opacifiers (such as tin oxide or bone ash) during the molten state.
Production Method: Mouth-blown and free-hand sculpted hot (a massiccio or soffiato techniques) without the use of molds for final shaping.
Uniqueness Guarantee: As a purely handmade object, slight variations in form, size, and curve are inherent marks of artisan authenticity, ensuring no two sculptures are identical.
Invite serenity into your space.
Move beyond ordinary decor. Acquire The Venetian Dove, a singular symbol of peace and Italian craftsmanship.
Paired with the Black Murano Glass Dove there is a stunning contrast of colors.
