Timeless poetry in classic sculpture. Murano glass clowns are a sort of "parallel universe". They are exclusive and unrepeatable pieces of art, highly sought-after by collectors all over the world.
YourMurano.com presents Circus, the collection of clowns produced by the Fratelli Pitau artistic glassmaking furnace in Murano, today available online. YourMurano is the new online shop authorized by the Promovetro Consortium in Murano. It sells exclusively products certified by the Italian law through the "Vetro Artistico® Murano" Trademark of Origin.
The collection consists of nine Murano glass clowns. They bear the names of the world's most famous clowns: Grock, The Chickys, Harty, Jyjou, Remi, Karandash, Burt, Buffo, Blinko.
The craftsmanship and handmade quality makes them unique and incomparable. Watching one of these clowns being created in the furnace is pure poetry in motion. Clowns are a common character in collective consciousness, a figure that instrinsically brings fun and joy. It is with this spirit that master glassmakers have started producing Murano glass clowns: to create a decorative accessory that would bring good cheer and colour to any home or office setting. They come in different sizes and shapes, each with a distinctive feature. For example, a flower on a hat, a large wig, a ball, a musical instrument, colourful suits and the unmistakeable shoes. Their faces present meticulously details: a wide smile and bright red nose define their character.
Each of these pieces is unrepeatable. By its nature and production technique, Murano glass is unique and exclusive. In other words, no object can ever be identical to any other. This is what sets handmade Murano glass sculptures apart from the rest: mass-production is impossible. They can be similar, but never identical. However, owning a piece of Murano art glass doesn't only bring beauty to your life. It also means holding an important investment for your future. There are countless creations that are now on display in the world's greatest museums alongside other artistic masterpieces. Glass clowns, and in general, Murano glass sculptures, represent unique pieces of art, with colors, light, reflections and transparencies that only glass can give.
