Lustre de Murano à huit bras en verre incolore liseré de rose

La transparence domine, à peine réchauffée d'un reflet d'ambre, et un mince liseré rose court sur chaque arête du verre. Du fût central, étagé en renflements côtelés, jaillissent de longues feuilles effilées qui montent vers la coupelle du sommet. Huit bras cannelés décrivent une courbe souple avant de porter des bobèches évasées en corolles, chacune ourlée de rose et garnie d'une ampoule. Une goutte de verre achève le fût vers le bas, et une chaîne dorée suspend l'ensemble. La lumière circule dans le verre sans jamais s'y arrêter.

En 1291, une loi relègue les fours des verriers vénitiens sur l'île de Murano. Au XVIIIe siècle, Giuseppe Briati y attache son nom au style dit ciocche, fait de guirlandes, de fleurs et de feuilles de verre. Le type de lustre Ca' Rezzonico se décline en cinq, six, huit lumières ou davantage, chaque pièce soufflée à la main puis montée sur une armature métallique. Ce lustre du XXe siècle parle cette langue de feuilles et de corolles, mais ni sa verrerie ni son modèle exact ne sont nommés.

Transparency rules, barely warmed by a hint of amber, and a thin pink edge runs along every rim of the glass. From the central stem, stacked in ribbed swellings, long tapering leaves rise towards the cup at the top. Eight fluted arms sweep in a supple curve before carrying flared, corolla-shaped drip pans, each edged in pink and fitted with a bulb. A glass drop closes the stem below, and a gilt chain holds the whole. Light moves through the glass without ever settling.

In 1291 a law sent the furnaces of the Venetian glassmakers out to the island of Murano. In the eighteenth century Giuseppe Briati lent his name there to the style known as ciocche, made of garlands, flowers and leaves in glass. The Ca' Rezzonico type of chandelier comes with five, six, eight lights or more, each piece blown by hand and then mounted on a metal frame. This twentieth century chandelier speaks that language of leaves and corollas, though neither its glassworks nor its exact model is named.
