Five steps, all by hand.
Ornaments, tree toppers, figures: every piece passes through the hands of our Bellagio workshop, from the glass tube to the packing.
The five steps
-
01
The glass
A tube of borosilicate glass is heated by hand over the flame until it softens. A few seconds change everything.
-
02
The breath
The shape comes from breath and hands: a ball, a teardrop, a tree topper, a figure. Each one different from the rest.
-
03
The base coat
The piece receives its base color: an inner silvering with 999 silver that shines like a mirror, or a glossy or matte color.
-
04
The decoration
Our decorators paint everything by hand, one detail at a time: base coats, shading, glitter and finishing touches.
-
05
The packing
Every piece is inspected, protected and packed by hand, ready for its journey.
Every piece is one of a kind
Every ornament comes to life through one person’s breath and brush, one at a time. That is why each piece has a character all its own: subtle nuances in shape, size and decoration that no machine could ever repeat.
