Monofiori Balloton

It looks soft, but it's glass.

The optical illusion is couched in its name — Balloton, the ancient Murano technique that recreates the look of matelassé fabric on the surface of the glass. A fine lip in a contrasting colour, hot-worked around the mouth by hand.

Monofiori — Italian for single flower —designed for the simple pleasure of a small bouquet. Each Monofiori Balloton is mouth-blown and hand-finished on the island of Murano. No two are identical — the subtle variations in colour and surface are the mark of the human hand behind every piece.

Available in four sizes and a range of hand-crafted colours.
