Ferrara Oro Bianco

Especially vibrant, shimmering colors are characteristic of the Smalto series mosaic. Using artisan techniques, the enamel granules are added to the glass where they color the tesserae with a particular flamed effect, making them unique and one-of-a-kind.

The Vetricolor series is known for its rich, vibrant hues achieved through the use of oxides that, fusing completely with the glass, allow the creation of pure colors. The addition of sand to the pâte de verre during the coloring phase of the Vetricolor series of glass tesserae produces a typical sand-blasted effect that lends greater three-dimensionality to the color.

The tesserae in the Oro Bis collection are fashioned with 24 kt gold foil (Oro Bis giallo) or a gold and silver alloy (Oro Bis bianco) inserted between two protective layers of glass. The presence of the precious metal and the artisan-crafted process make this collection extremely luxurious. Because the tesserae are beveled ‒ like those in all the other collections of the same shape ‒ the Oro Bis tesserae are compatible in shape and thickness with the Bisazza glass mosaic collections, allowing them to be used in blends, shadings and patterns.
