"Battuto Master" Size: 1.97" Price: SOLD

Uh YEAH, I can pretty much guarantee you've never seen anything like THIS before!! How cool is THAT!!! Battuto literally means 'struck' in Italian, or having a hammered appearance when it relates to glass. To achieve this look, this result, the glass is painstakingly cold worked and ground on a grinder over and over again to bring about this special texture. The work involved is immense, and when you have Andrew's ability to set up the glass just right prior to the coldworking, you end up with a fantastic looking marble like this one.

The colors in this marble are FANTASTIC. The light colored bands have a milky transparent fumed look to them which I love. The darker colors were laid on in such a way to give the mottled look once the glass was ground through to other colors. Earthy and AWESOME!!! Don't miss out on one of the most unique marble creations you'll ever find!
