This Candleholder embodies the refined artistry of Italian glassmaking. Its deep emerald body, infused with a marbled calcedonio texture, evokes the fluid beauty of natural stone — swirling with subtle veins of grey and green beneath a translucent surface.
Handblown with sculptural precision, the clear twisted stem appears as if molten glass were caught in motion, supporting the marbled bowl with effortless grace. When lit, candlelight ripples through the glass, revealing shifting tones of jade and smoke — a play of light and substance that feels both ancient and modern.
Balancing function and artistry, this piece serves as a luminous candleholder or sculptural centerpiece, carrying forward the Italian tradition of transforming glass into living poetry.
