The Battista family carries on the tradition of their father, master glassblower Giovanni Battista, with this handcrafted bud vase with a removable candle holder. Giovanni spent his life pursuing perfection, captivated by modern scientific glass, borosilicate, which is both incredibly durable and crystal clear. Borosilicate must be worked at a much higher temperature than Murano glass, requiring great dexterity. His knowledge and skill was passed on to his children after 50 years of perfecting his craft. This genius candle holder and vase design encompasses inspirations from their father, allowing you to arrange flowers perfectly and accompany a candled ambiance if you so desire. Each hand-blown vase measures 4.25 inches in diameter by 4.5 inches tall, and comes with a removable candle holder for standard tapers. Includes a single white taper candle. Handcrafted for Uno Alla Volta, from the hearts and hands of the artisans.
