Description

“Six glasses, six distinctive Murano filigree techniques — a remarkable collection in its own right. May they be the beginning of a wonderful journey into the fascinating, almost infinite world of Murano glass art.”

The distinctive character of the CANOVA collection comes from the meeting of traditional Murano glassmaking and a contemporary graphic aesthetic.

No two designs in the set are alike: each set of six glasses presents a different interpretation of white filigree.

The six patterns are:

Ritorto
Madras
Dritto
Reticello
Reticello Canna
Fenicio

The transparency of the glass creates a sense of unity throughout the collection, while the six different textures bring rhythm, movement, and visual interest to the table.

Technique: White Murano Filigree

CANOVA showcases the traditional filigree (filigrana)technique, one of the most distinctive and recognizable forms of Murano glassmaking.

Glass canes containing fine white threads are skillfully worked and incorporated into the glass, creating linear, interwoven, lattice-like, and flowing patterns.

The design is neither applied nor printed on the surface. Instead, the filigree becomes an integral part of the glass itself.

Each pattern offers a different interpretation of this traditional technique, ranging from the geometric precision of Reticello to the freer, more fluid movement of Ritorto and Fenicio.

Light, Transparency & Movement at the Table

CANOVA takes on a different character depending on the light and the surface on which it is displayed.

On a light-colored table, the white filigree appears delicate, almost as if suspended within the transparent glass.

Against dark wood, black, or graphite surfaces, the white threads become more defined and graphic, bringing patterns such as Reticello and Dritto into particularly sharp focus.

In side lighting, the transparent glass can seem to nearly disappear, allowing the filigree pattern to appear as though it were floating in space.

When the glass is filled with water or wine, refraction subtly transforms the filigree lines, adding another layer of depth and visual movement to the design.

By candlelight or in soft evening lighting, each texture captures and reflects light differently, creating an especially refined and atmospheric tablescape.

How to Style the CANOVA Collection

The different textures are designed to be mixed freely. There is no need to match water and wine glasses in the same pattern: combining Reticello, Madras, Dritto, Fenicio, and the other designs creates a more dynamic table while preserving the collection’s harmonious white-and-clear palette.

CANOVA pairs particularly well with:

white porcelain, natural linen, silver, crystal, marble, wood, and neutral-toned textiles.

CANOVA in the Table Setting

Contemporary Classic

Paired with white dinnerware, light-colored linen, silver, and marble, CANOVA creates an elegant, luminous table setting without feeling overly decorative.

Minimalism

In a minimalist setting, the six distinctive filigree patterns can become the primary decorative element of the table.

A monochromatic tablecloth, simple ceramics, and just a few carefully chosen accessories are enough to let the glassware take center stage.

Black & White

Against black, anthracite, or dark wood surfaces, the white filigree takes on a stronger, more graphic and contemporary character.

The contrast makes the differences between the six patterns especially easy to appreciate.

Art Deco

Marble, mirrored surfaces, chrome, silver, brass, and gold accents pair naturally with the collection’s geometric motifs, particularly Reticello and Dritto.

Weddings & Special Occasions

CANOVA is particularly well suited to weddings, anniversaries, receptions, elegant dinners, and other special occasions.

The combination of clear glass and white filigree pairs beautifully with white flowers, candlelight, pearl accents, and table settings in ivory, silver, or champagne tones.

CANOVA as a Murano Art Glass Collection

When not in use, CANOVA glasses can be displayed in a glass cabinet, on a sideboard, or in a bar cabinet as a decorative collection in their own right.

Arranged with slight variations in position, the six different patterns can be seen through one another, creating a captivating display of Murano art glass.

An illuminated display cabinet further enhances the delicate white filigree, allowing the variety and intricacy of the patterns to be appreciated even when the glasses are not in use.

A Distinctive Gift

The CANOVA collection makes an elegant Made in Italy gift for those who appreciate design, fine tableware, and the tradition of Murano glassmaking.

It is particularly well suited as a:

wedding gift, gift for newlyweds, anniversary gift, housewarming gift, milestone birthday gift, or special design gift for a collector.
