“Apparently casual silhouettes with irregular protrusions meet sleek surfaces to admire with the eye and caress with the hand. They stem from special techniques – "Mano Volante" and "Riporto a Caldo" – by which colour is hot applied and then guided into position and shaped. This vase by Gae Aulenti is like a thousand vases in one: it changes with light, perspective and the eyes of the viewer.”
Riporto a Caldo technique: the processing technique has a very interesting polychrome effect. The vase is in fact initially blown into a mold to obtain a perfectly spherical shape
At this point, more than forty transparent colored glass bubbles are blown and hot attached, then expertly broken in order to obtain irregular layers of colored glass. Once the desired shape has been prepared, the so-called transfer of colors by hot and flying hand begins, helping the color to model itself on the surface of the object.
This process takes place for each color and, only at the end, the compact block is heated one last time to amalgamate the entire surface. The technique of overlapping colors generates irregular and shapeless protrusions that constitute the diversity and uniqueness of each individual vase.
