Giberto Arrivabene Valenti Gonzaga grew up surrounded by frescoes of Giambattista Tiepolo, which deeply influenced his creative eye. Fascinated by glassmaking, Giberto creates watercolour sketches of his designs on tracing paper and passes them on to skilled Murano glassmakers, who bring each creation to life using Venetian furnaces.

Giberto creates watercolour sketches of his designs on tracing paper, then passes them onto skilled Murano glassmakers. The Julia tumbler is hand-blown and finished in a Venetian furnace using Murano glass and a rigà-menà technique to create a teardrop effect.
