The color is worked into the glass itself, so it never fades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a made-to-order piece from Salviati’s Murano furnace; allow 2–3 weeks for delivery.

We work directly with the Italian artisans and workshops we represent — FIMA, CF Deruta, Pia Formato, Eugenio Ricciarelli, Susanna DeSimone, Geribi, Bucci Ceramiche, Ortigia Sicilia, Italesse, and Salviati — so every piece is the real thing, not a reproduction. Questions? Call (415) 392-8096.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this be customized or personalized?\u003c\/strong\u003e This Salviati vase is made to order (allow 2–3 weeks) but is not personalized with names or dates. Customization and personalization are available on select pieces. Eugenio Ricciarelli, FIMA, Pia Formato, Geribi, and CF Deruta accept special orders — a name, date, or occasion painted on the piece, or a different size or shape in the workshop’s existing pattern. Lead time is typically 3–6 months because each piece is hand-painted to order in Italy.

The color is worked into the glass itself, and the small variations from piece to piece are the signature of true handwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSalviati, Murano\u003c\/strong\u003e — In 1859, Vicenza-born lawyer Antonio Salviati founded Salviati \u0026amp; Co., uniting the production of mosaics and enamels with blown glass. He was the first modern Italian maker to bring skilled Murano glassblowers together in one furnace, and the workshop became known worldwide for its \u003cem\u003elattimi\u003c\/em\u003e, woven filigrees, and opalescent glass with floral applications. More than 160 years later, Salviati remains a trend-setter, and its work is held in the permanent collections of major museums.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SALVIATI","offers":[{"title":"9\" x 9\"","offer_id":45664448839733,"sku":"6658","price":850.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1001\/9802\/files\/ChatGPTImageJun24_2026_06_34_38PM_22aaf009-6766-4a89-9bd4-60308df5adc9.png?v=1782352575","url":"https:\/\/biordi.com\/products\/salviati-hand-carved-crystal-shot-glasses-set-of-6-copy","provider":"Biordi Art Imports","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
