This Cobalt Dichroic & Latticino Teapot by celebrated glass artists Ken and Ingrid Hanson is a stunning fusion of traditional Venetian glass techniques and contemporary artistry. Hand-blown with meticulous attention to detail, this nonfunctional sculptural teapot features swirling ribbons of dichroic glass that shimmer with an ever-changing iridescence, complemented by the delicate latticino canework that spirals elegantly across its cobalt blue form.
The latticino technique, a hallmark of Venetian glassblowing, involves carefully heating and fusing fine glass canes to the core of the piece before twisting and shaping it to create mesmerizing patterns. The Hansons' innovative approach to this classic method results in a piece that is both visually dynamic and rich in texture. The amber-hued handle and spout, along with the leaf-like finial atop the lid, add organic fluidity to the composition, reinforcing the teapot’s sculptural elegance.
While this teapot is nonfunctional and purely decorative, its sculptural elegance and dazzling hues make it a striking centerpiece in any home or art collection.
A testament to the Hansons' masterful craftsmanship, this Cobalt Dichroic & Latticino Teapot is a dazzling interplay of color, light, and technique, blending Venetian tradition with contemporary design.
