This striking Ultras Sconce is by 6:AM Glassworks. Though based in Milan, the Italian design brand is dedicated to showcasing Venetian glassmaking techniques practiced in Murano.

The sconce is actually blown as a single piece of glass. To achieve the two colors, the artisans use the Venetian a canne ("with cane") technique. This is where separate glass rods (canes) are assembled into a single mass, then blown into shape.



The manufacturing procedure actually yields two separate objects. The part that the sconce is cut off of is sold by the company as the Ultras Vase.
