The lamp measures 44cm in diameter and 23cm high and is raised on a simple circular base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe bullicante technique was developed on the island of Murano during the 1930s and became one of the defining innovations of post-war Italian glassmaking. The process involves trapping a regular pattern of tiny air bubbles between layers of molten glass using a mould fitted with metal spikes. A second layer of glass is then applied, permanently sealing the bubbles within the body of the piece. The technique requires exceptional control of temperature and timing, making it one of Murano’s most technically demanding decorative processes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eDuring the 1950s and 1960s, Murano glasshouses including Venini, Barovier \u0026amp; Toso, Seguso Vetri d’Arte, Cenedese and Archimede Seguso experimented extensively with bullicante, producing lighting, vases and sculptural glass that combined traditional Venetian craftsmanship with modern forms. While many pieces remain unattributed to a specific designer, the technique itself has become synonymous with Murano’s post-war revival and its influence on twentieth-century glass design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThis lamp is in excellent conditon.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"a fold of chairs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58458931364224,"sku":null,"price":2250.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/3093\/files\/DSC01915-757.jpg?v=1784283385","url":"https:\/\/www.afoldofchairs.com\/products\/a-murano-bullicante-glass-lamp-in-pale-pink","provider":"a fold of chairs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
