Faceted Roman-style vial

The blue colour is achieved by adding copper oxide to the crucible, an ancient recipe that gives this typical lagoon blue of antique Oriental glassware. The artificial yet natural ageing through sand and oxidation respects the reliefs of the piece, not drowning them under a uniform layer but highlighting them with finesse. It is a work of precision and patience. Each vial is hand-cleaned to reveal the facets while leaving the patina in the crevices to accentuate the contrast. It is a high-end artisanal product that reflects the decorative richness of antiquity. By owning this vial, you possess an example of the ancients' love for complex and structured beauty, a talisman of lasting and inspiring beauty. Technical Specifications.
