I'm also listing many other Venetian glass plates! This is "first-class" Venetian glass. "Second-class" items have: distorted shapes (not perfectly circular), poor colors (e.g., dark pink), uneven surfaces, thinness, and excessive use of gold leaf (gilding). Work Title: "Tempio blu" (Blue Temple) Only one of each design is made. This is a one-of-a-kind piece. Size: Diameter: Approximately 11cm Height: Approximately 1.5cm This is a millefiori plate created by Dorian, a Venetian glass artist born and raised on Murano Island, from a small family-run workshop on Murano Island. The workshop is called Pagan. Dorian's works mainly feature plates and bowls with geometric patterns (sacred geometry). This small plate alone is filled with over 400 glass parts (flower-patterned murrine)! Unlike plates with randomly arranged murrine, the design and production of geometric patterns require high skill and considerable effort, so they are treated as art pieces rather than tableware in Italy. Because the artist works alone, only a limited number can be made, and they are only sold on Murano Island. In Italy, the arrangement of glass flower-patterned candy murrine like a flower bed or flower garden is called millefiori. Because of its beauty, many people display it as a decorative plate, but of course, it can also be used to serve food and sweets. Dorian's works use thinner murrine (about 1/2 to 1/4 the size of Moretti's), which takes twice to four times the effort and time to produce. However, this allows for detailed and delicate expressions, resulting in plates with a light and airy feel.
