The Seletti Hybrid Aglaura Glass Set: A Trio of Cultural Dialogues
The Seletti Hybrid Aglaura glass set presents a fascinating trio, each glass a miniature masterpiece of cultural fusion, where traditional Eastern motifs meet classic Western glassmaking techniques. These three unique vessels are designed to be appreciated individually and as a collection, sparking conversation and delight.
The Dragon Glass: This captivating piece features a vibrant green imperial dragon coiling across its frosted surface, a powerful and auspicious symbol from traditional Chinese art. This iconic Eastern imagery is contrasted with a segment of clear, faceted glass, a homage to classic Western crystal cutting techniques that add sparkle and texture.
The Floral Tree Glass: Adorned with delicate, colorful blossoms on an elegant tree branch, this glass showcases a motif highly reminiscent of 18th or 19th-century Chinoiserie, a European artistic style inspired by Chinese design, or perhaps even direct East Asian floral painting. The frosted finish provides a soft backdrop, while the top rim features subtle Western-style fluting or etching, blending the influences seamlessly.
The Koi Fish Glass: This whimsical glass displays gracefully swimming koi fish, a beloved symbol of prosperity, good fortune, and perseverance in East Asian culture. Their golden scales stand out against the frosted glass, while the opposing side features intricate, clear diamond-cut patterns, reminiscent of traditional European crystal and glassware.
Each Aglaura glass is a microcosm of Seletti’s “Hybrid” philosophy, blending historical artistry with contemporary design to create functional objects that are truly unique and wonderfully unexpected decor statements.
