Exceptional tealight holders made of solid Murano glass, created in 2014 in a collaboration between the renowned glass manufacturer Vistosi, the Swiss Atelier Schlaepfer, and commissioned by Nestlé. This rare collaboration combines traditional Venetian glassmaking with a modern, sculptural design. The organically twisted, spiral structure resembles a frozen swirl of glass. The interplay of clear and intensely turquoise glass creates fascinating depth effects that shimmer and change dynamically depending on the light. The central opening is perfectly integrated for a tealight and, through reflections, enhances the object's three-dimensional effect. The heavy, solid construction underscores the high level of craftsmanship typical of Murano glassmaking. Each piece is unique, with individual glass gradients and delicate inclusions – characteristic features of genuine handcraftsmanship.
These pieces are truly one-of-a-kind, featuring individual variations in the glass and subtle inclusions. The engraved signature on the underside (“Murano glass handcrafted by Vistosi atelier and atelier Schlaepfer for Nestlé 2014”) makes these pieces a documented collector's item with a clear provenance. A decorative object that blends art and design – ideal as a statement piece or for sophisticated table centerpieces.
