I always fascinated of the glass enamelling from East to West. I always found something similar yet different between both.
There is an antiques shop in HK I love to visit from time to time, which sells old s***f bottles. There have a few glass s***f bottles always caught my eyes, they decorated with 3-D enamelling. And I don’t even know how they make it in the old days.
Last year I finally can spend a few days at my teacher’s studio in Murano and looking around of her works. I was amazed, I found a similar 3-D details which she used enamels to make. It’s called – Smalti a bassorilievo.
Then I think, why not using multi layers of enamels and bas-relief enamelling, to build up a thick enamels to replicate the Venetian beads 3-D fiorate details? And add a little touch of gold paint to replicate the gold leaves details (oro foglio)?
Techniques:
- Soffiatura del Vetro,
- Smalti su Vetro,
- Smalti a bassorilievo,
- Decorare d’oro Liquido
