Description
A delicate and quietly beautiful Murano glass figurine by Cesare Toso — a young girl with clasped hands in prayer, rendered in the soft frosted lavender of neodymium glass.
Cesare Toso is a respected Murano glasshouse with a long tradition of producing finely detailed figurines and decorative glass objects. This praying girl figurine is moulded in neodymium glass, a material that shifts between soft lavender and pale grey depending on the light source — a subtle optical quality that gives the piece an almost ethereal quality. The delicate modelling of the clasped hands and bowed head conveys a quiet devotional stillness that makes this a particularly affecting display piece.
