| Applied festoon filament decoration dates back to the early days of the history of glass and was used on both pearls and containers. |
|
|
| Incandescent glass filaments are pulled out of a crucible and applied on the object with a short and thin pontil, which in Murano is called a spiral 'speo' (spear) or vertical 'speo' or other depending on the various decorative motifs. |
|
|
| The threads can be in relief or incorporated into the wall by marvering the object, that is, rolling it on a metal or marble surface. |
