The legendary
tradition of
creating glass
for mosaic.

Orsoni’s precious gold mosaics
and colored golds are made using
traditional Byzantine techniques.
The gold leaf is laid on a thin -
transparent or colored - glass
piece obtained from the “sbruffo”,
the iconic bubble-shaped glass
handblown in the Furnace.
A protective layer of transparent
or colored molten glass is then
poured on the gold leaf to preserve
its eternal beauty.
