Here’s another creation from the island of Murano. The process used to make these glass birds sounds pretty cool, I’d like to witness it in action.
They dip a long metal rod in molten glass, twisting it in just the right way to form the dove. Then while it’s still piping hot, 24 karat gold is applied to give the bird those streaks on the side. Pretty wild stuff. If I tried that out, it would probably end up as a glass earthworm or something. The doves are available in the two colors shown there; pink and blue. Oh wait, the pink is called rose, that sounds much nicer!
