Ghiaccio – the Italian word for ice – is the effect produced by ‘Granzioli’, small glass fragments that resemble crushed ice. To create this special texture, a bed of Granzioli are applied on the main piece while it is still incandescent. The result is a thick and uneven layer of glass granules that envelops the surface of the vase. To highlight the contrast, a portion of the vase is left uncovered and smooth.
