Sulphide, a unique piece born from crystal expertise
Often called a "paperweight", the sulfide is a small crystal ball, entirely handmade. It contains delicate and subtle inclusions of colored enamels, and it is worked with care for a unique and refined result.To make a sulfide, the craftsman collects crystal, then alternates between blowing and dipping in the palette of colors at his disposal. The patterns represented can be abstract or realistic: swirls, spirals, flowers, ocean, fire or even cotton candy, everything is possible for the craftsman who has imagination and know-how.
Very quickly becoming a collector's item or decoration, the sulphide was born in the 19th century and accompanied the growing success of crystal factories. Originally, the object was adorned with inlaid cameos, themselves made with ceramic paste. The fusion then produces sulphites: this is where the name of this charming spherical decoration comes from. This object, which has all the makings of a small work of art, was developed in the workshops of glass and crystal artisans, in Venice and in France. Today, its popularity is still undiminished.
No two pieces with the same decoration will ever be exactly the same: this is the hallmark of handmade work! The diversity of patterns is infinite, so much so that collectors seize them with enthusiasm. By the way, did you know that the collector of sulphides is called a scalaglobuphile?
