Saturno Hand-Blown Clear Crystal Sculptural Object

A ring and a craquel� sphere, held in equilibrium by their own weight. The Saturno's clear crystal ring (diam. 25 cm) frames a craquel� sphere that sits within it, balanced with quiet precision, no adhesive, no mechanism, only the careful calibration of mass. The craquel� surface scatters light in complex, ever-shifting patterns. Remove the sphere from the ring and it functions independently as a small flower vase. Made by hand in a historic Florentine glasshouse active since 1945.
