The glass is of medium thickness and medium to heavy weight. The pulegoso technique shows thousands of tiny bubbles of different sizes throughout and creates a lightly pebbled texture. The bubbles reflect and shimmer in the light! This piece is a fine example of pulegoso (without somerso) and a good example of Carlo Scarpa’s beautiful designs in the modern style.
