Description

A composition of light, transparency, and refined elegance.

"Forget the traditional gold-rimmed plate: contemporary presentations of the most refined culinary creations call for authentic murrine crafted from Vetro Artistico® Murano glass.

The Soft Grace plate is crafted from authentic authentic Vetro Artistico® Murano art glass. Vetro Artistico® Murano glass by the historic Ercole Moretti glassworks. With a diameter of 24 cm (9.45 in), it is equally suited for elegant table service or as a decorative piece displayed on a console, sideboard, or inside a glass cabinet.

Its surface is created by meticulously arranging hundreds of white Millefiori murrineby hand and fusing them onto a transparent glass base. Milky white and ivory tones form a subtle tone-on-tone floral pattern. The interplay of opaque and transparent glass creates visual depth, while the satin finish reveals the intricate design without introducing dominant colors.

The production process involves several stages: preparing and cutting the glass canes, selecting the individual murrine, arranging the composition by hand, and fusing the glass. Each plate features subtle variations in the placement and shape of its motifs. These differences are a natural expression of the artisanal process and make every piece unique.

The 24 cm format is ideal for appetizers, sushi, tartare, cheeses, fruit, desserts, and other foods without excess liquid, served cold or at moderate temperatures. Its neutral palette highlights the natural colors of the ingredients and pairs beautifully with linen, porcelain, crystal, marble, wood, and satin-finished metals.
