| Turtle (Two Piece with removable shell) Description: | Perhaps the most striking features of "Turtle" are the gem-like facets that make up his shell. Dino Rosin personally spends dozens of hours polishing each facet so as to reveal the intensely swirling colors of the cheerful Calcedonia glass. Collectors adore the Turtle's removable shell which can be displayed separately. With Dino Rosin's unparalleled ability to create masterful freeform glass sculpture, this sea dweller’s flippers seem likely to propel it into uncharted waters at any moment. "Turtle" is sure to put a grin on any viewer’s face, as its playful character is impossible to ignore. 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 "Turtle" - 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. His two piece "Turtle" 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. |
