The Lure of the Sea

04 Thursday Jun 2015

≈ Comments Off on The Lure of the Sea

What is it about the sea and all its creatures that beckons us so?
I am grateful to live on Connecticut’s beautiful shoreline just a few miles from the beach. Yet I find this primal pull is shared by all – no matter how landlocked.
In beautiful Verona, my dear friend Amedeo creates his own glistening interpretation of the sea and some of the magnificent life forms it contains.
I wonder if perhaps the lure of the sea isn’t part of a larger human need to journey and discover. I invite you to travel with me across an ocean to the town of Shakespeare’s star-crossed lovers. There, you and I will visit with Amedeo and his sons Roberto and Valentino and together we will learn the story of their lives and their art.

Silver Leafed Sea Life Designs

I recently visited my friend Amedeo at his third-generation workshop in Verona, Italy, the town of Shakespeare’s star-crossed lovers, Romeo and Juliet. There he works with his two sons, Valentino and Roberto, to transform ordinary glass into luminous works of functional art. Their latest masterpiece features our artisans’ interpretation of the sea and some of the magnificent life forms it contains.

To create this spectacular sea life vase, Amedeo begins by applying his original stucco designs – including a sea turtle, fish and seahorse among various aquatic plants – onto each glass vase, uno alla volta. His sons then apply layers of glistening silver leaf and rich, colorful glazes to the designs to complete each sea life scene. Once each piece is dry, it is polished to a gleaming luster and Amedeo engraves his signature onto the bottom of the vase as his finishing touch.
