    "description": "Vincenzo Moretti, a glassmaker for Salviati, successfully produced glass bowls in the late 1870s using the ancient technique of mosaic glass. Makers of mosaic glass cut thin slices of from long, thin rods known as canes. The slices were placed side by side on a marble slab and heated in a furnace until they fused together. The soft flat disk of fused glass was then placed over a bowl-shaped form and heated until it slumped into the desired shape.",
