A BIT OF HISTORY
One of the most famous makers of Italian Murano art glass is Luigi Onesto who was immersed in the art from the early age of 15. Onesto would go on to found his own art glass studio, Vetreria Artistica Oball, where he now works with his sons.

Onesto's work is characterised by his exceptionally skilled use of the Sommerso technique. Sommerso involves layering multiple colours of glass for a very distinctive and beautiful effect. It is not a simple process by any means and is one of the most commonly known Murano techniques, which in Italian literally means “submerged”. This technique is used to create several layers of glass (usually with different contrasting colours) inside a single object, giving the illusion of “immersed” colours without mixing and a big drop of colour captured in clear glass.
