Glass Incense Holder

By forming a close relationship with artisans Massimo and Federico Pagnin at a small family-owned studio in Paderno Dugnano, the artist Valentina Cameranesi-Sgroi pushes the boundaries of borosilicate glass (a technique usually reserved for scientific instruments), manipulating and deforming the material. This series, a delicate liquid-like group of vessels, offer various fantastical forms. This vessel has an oversized aperture in the form of a huge splash, acting to accommodate the smoke of the incense stick which stands, like stigma, in the central incision of the bowl.
