FAQs

Scavo glass is a specialised glassmaking technique developed on the island of Murano, designed to simulate the weathered texture and iridescent oxidisation of ancient Roman archaeological finds.

Craftspeople apply various chemical compounds and metallic salts to hot glass during the blowing process, then subject the piece to controlled thermal treatments to create a frosted, porous, and iridescent surface.

Authentic pieces often exhibit hand-finished pontil marks on the base, characteristic weight, uneven bubble distribution inherent to mouth-blowing, and distinct artistic signatures or historical labels where applicable.

Place the piece on a contrasting surface such as dark wood or polished stone to highlight its translucent qualities, allowing natural light to pass through the iridescent finish.

Dust gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, abrasive sponges, or immersion in water, particularly for pieces with delicate chemical surface treatments like scavo.
