Winter Sale! While there are many imitation Venetian glass pieces, please experience the "thickness" and texture of authentic Venetian glass. Purchased at the Murano glass specialty store ≪chisa≫ in Kita-sando for 98,000 yen. Size: Diameter: Approximately 15cm Height: Approximately 3.5cm This is a millefiori plate created by Dorian, a Venetian glass artist born and raised on Murano Island in Venice, at a small, family-run workshop on Murano Island. The workshop is called Pagan. (With a workshop sticker on the back) This is not a decorative plate. Using glass beads called murrine or murrini (murrini, murrina, murina) that resemble flower-patterned "golden candy," they are arranged in a mold, shaped through two firings, and then carefully polished one by one over a long period of time. The matte finish provides a pleasant touch and a sense of luxury. Venetian glass plates are often circular, but this is an octagonal plate, which is difficult to shape. It has a simple design that can be used casually in everyday life, and you can actually use it to serve tea sweets, Japanese sweets, cookies, cakes, fruits, etc. Because it has a certain depth, it is also recommended for items with a lot of liquid, such as puddings, ice cream, and sweets with custard sauce. It's also lovely just to serve bright red strawberries on it. Dorian's works use "thinner murrine" compared to other workshops (about half the size of Moretti), which takes more effort and time to produce, but the result is a delicate and light-looking plate.
