Pair of Dioscuro candles in transparent glass. The technique used is handmade blowing. They are made in Mallorca and they are all different and exclusive. Slight differences and irregularities in design and finish are part of the unique character and charm of the craftsmanship. No two pieces are the same.
The art of Balearic blown glass dates back to the 2nd century BC. C. and consists of introducing an iron tube (the canya) in a quantity of molten glass. The opposite end is then blown and the glass is inflated like a balloon. To work this "balloon", the tube is rotated in both directions and the blower shapes it with the help of wet newspaper, molds, different instruments, even freehand. When the piece is finished, it is separated from the tube. The puntill is what remains of that union between cane and object, and can be seen at its base.
