Ocean blue, turquoise and rain forest green dance with lilac and aqua in a riot of festive patterns. Covering a curvaceous crystalline vase with a spectrum of color, Seguso Family artisans create a joyous design. They work in the age-old techniques of Murano glass brought from Italy to Brazil by Mario Seguso in 1954.
The presence of air bubbles accentuates the nature of the traditional hand blown crafting process, making each piece unique.
Artisan Organization: Seguso Family
Country: Brazil
The artistry of the Seguso Family has been featured in Depth magazine.
Present since 1300 in the census books of Murano, Italy, today the prestigious Seguso glass-crafting family has a Brazilian branch. In 1954, Mario Seguso was invited to execute special commemorative pieces for the 400th anniversary of the city of São Paulo. Enchanted by Brazil, he decided to settle there and, in this way, to continue the family line in this country.
His intention was to produce serious, artistic work of the highest level, and become known throughout Brazil and in other countries. After years of supervising the production of artisan crystal, he assured its continuity through his sons Michel and Adriano, who carry on the Seguso Family tradition.
Since then, the Seguso Family has been recognized for the creativity and originality of their work and always are cited in news articles, award ceremonies and retrospective exhibits, with an increasing number of admirers and collectors interested in the passionate art of glass."
