＊This item is a first-class piece of Venetian glass. Similar to Meissen, Venetian glass comes in first-class and second-class grades. Products with distortions in shape, uneven thickness, thinness, poor color (such as dark pink), numerous air bubbles, or gaps between murrini are sold locally as second-class or B-grade items at 1/5 to 1/3 the price of first-class items. ＊I am also listing many other Venetian glass plates! Size: Diameter: Approximately 11cm Height: Approximately 1.5cm Purchased at Kita-sando Chisa for 68,000 yen Title: "tempio primaverile" (Spring Temple) Only one of each design is made. This is a one-of-a-kind piece. This is a millefiori plate created by Dorian, a Venetian glass artist born and raised on Murano Island, in a small, family-run workshop on Murano Island, Venice. It was purchased at Chisa, a Venetian glass shop in Kita-sando, for 58,000 yen. Dorian's works mainly feature plates and bowls with geometric patterns (sacred geometry). Unlike plates with randomly arranged murrine, the design and production of geometric patterns require high skill and considerable effort, so they are treated as art pieces rather than tableware in Italy. Because the artist works alone, only a limited number can be produced, and they are only sold on Murano Island. In Italy, the arrangement of glass flower-patterned millefiori, like a flower bed or flower garden, is called millefiori. Due to its beauty, many people display it as a decorative plate, but of course, it can also be used to serve food and sweets. Dorian's plates are small, but the number of murrine used is about the same as that of the large plates from the Moretti workshop. Please compare it with the white Moretti plate in the background.
