This Bi-Color Sconce is Blown from a Single Piece of Glass
This striking Ultras Sconce is by 6:AM Glassworks. Though based in Milan, the Italian design brand is dedicated to showcasing Venetian glassmaking techniques practiced in Murano.
The sconce is actually blown as a single piece of glass. To achieve the two colors, the artisans use the Venetian a canne ("with cane") technique.
This is where separate glass rods (canes) are assembled into a single mass, then blown into shape. The manufacturing procedure actually yields two separate objects.
