| Raven Description: | This crafty bird raises his beak skyward as though in contemplation. Long a symbol of wisdom, the clever creation of Italian glass sculptor Dino Rosin leaves viewers wondering what has attracted this Raven’s attention. After forging this piece in his Murano, Italy studio, Rosin spent hours grinding and polishing the shapely cutout in the body of the piece. This unique design allows for a novel view of the Calcedonia glass, and shows the many layers of striped color that cannot often be seen in a piece. As with all of Dino Rosin’s Calcedonia glass works, no two sculptures will ever contain the same colors. The distinguishing colors of Calcedonia, comparable to the stripes in a zoned agate, are created through the introduction of silver nitrate to crystal clear glass. Patterns found in each Dino Rosin sculpture cannot be controlled since the colors depend solely upon the chemical reaction of each batch. As a result, every sculpture - including "Raven" - has the added element of chance upon that of unparalleled mastery.
Dino Rosin is a true "Maestro" from the celebrated glass art island of Murano, Italy. Rosin continues his family's tradition of glass blowing that dates back generations. "Raven" is a stunning example of this world famous artist's skill and lineage, with a combination of clear and "Calcedonia" glass, a lost art rediscovered by Loredano Rosin, Dino's predecessor and older brother. Rosin's studio produces the clearest and most colorful Calcedonia glass in the world. Impossible to duplicate, each piece is completely unique in its color. |
