"Sublime Battuto" Size: 1.75" Price: SOLD

Uh huh, 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.

This marble is simply mesmerizing. The contrast of the 'safari looking' bands with the wonderful bright green is SOOOO sweet. It seems to represent everything on this green earth we love so much. Earthy and AWESOME!!! Don't miss out on one of the most unique marble creations you'll ever find!
