The Optical Illusion Square Plate<\/strong> is one of the most sophisticated pieces in the Frame Collection<\/strong> , created by the historic Ercole Moretti<\/strong>, founded in Murano in 1911.<\/p>\n

The composition of black, grey, white and ochre murrine<\/strong>, arranged with exceptional geometric precision, creates a striking three-dimensional effect that shifts continuously with the light and the viewing angle. This play of visual perception is what gives the collection its name: Optical Illusion<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Each plate is entirely handcrafted at the Ercole Moretti glassworks using the prestigious technique of Fused Millefiori murrine<\/strong>, one of the most complex traditions of Murano glassmaking.<\/p>\n

What Makes This Plate So Special?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Creating this collection requires extraordinary precision.<\/p>\n

Each individual murrine<\/strong> begins as a long, multicolored glass rod formed through successive layers of colored glass. Once cooled, the rods are cut by hand into hundreds of small cross-sections.<\/p>\n

The master glassmaker then arranges each element like a mosaic, creating a precise geometric rhythm before the final kiln-fusing process.<\/p>\n

In the Optical Illusion<\/strong>model, the challenge is even greater: the pattern must retain its geometry perfectly during the fusing process in order to create the optical sense of depth that defines the entire collection.<\/p>\n

Each plate also incorporates the distinctive murrina bearing the letter \u201cM\u201d<\/strong>, Ercole Moretti\u2019s exclusive symbol of authenticity, and is certified by the official authentic Vetro Artistico\u00ae Murano art glass.<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The heritage of Ercole Moretti<\/strong><\/p>\n
