About Orinnoro Vas Vitreum
Orinnoro est vas ad res servandas, ut flores et cibum, destinatum. Obiectum vitreum altum 65 cm alta est et in officina manu ex vitro reciclato formatur. Quodque vas in forma lignea sufflatur, et lineae colorum moderna interpretatione artis classicae Incalmo vitrum sufflandi efficiuntur. Rhythmus processus vitri faciendi singulis operibus colorem proprium tribuit. Textura aspera materiae reciclatae extollitur, et umbra vitri cum luce circumiacenti mutatur. Consilium quietam pulchritudinem Septentrionalem reflectit.
