Large focal Venetian Lampwork Disc with a base of white with ca'd'oro (cracked gold) worked with slices of calcedonia and zanfirico. Each is slightly different as calcedonia varies in the heat and canes. The lentil is approximately 36mm in diameter and puffy. The hole is approximately 1mm in diameter. This is a very stylish Venetian Bead. The exterior gold foil is subject to wear and tear and exposure to oils or chemicals. This is not a defect but simply how the exposed gold reacts. Calcedonia is a difficult tempermental glass produced only by few furnaces in Murano, Italy. It was first discovered in the mid 1400 and the recipe lost with the fall of the Venetian Republic, later recreated by Lorenzo Radi in the mid 1800s and yet again lost. The famous glass sulptor Loredano Rosin is credited with rediscovering the secrets of the glass and even today, his brother Dino Rosin uses this elusive glass for his sculptures. The ever changing colors are due in large part to the addition of silver nitrate with the clear glass.
