Like the candleholders in the Dalia collection, this piece begins with a real dahlia. Osanna Visconti selects the bloom herself and casts it in natural bronze through the lost-wax process at her trusted art foundry in Milan. The model is encased in clay and plaster, fired at 650°C until the wax melts away, and the void is filled with molten bronze before the casting is chiselled and polished by hand. Here the bronze flower becomes a base, cradling a small bowl of amber Murano glass, a material shaped in the furnaces of the Venetian lagoon for over seven centuries. Visconti trained as a jeweller in Rome and at the Gemological Institute of America in New York, and the pairing of warm metal and translucent glass recalls a stone in its setting. Intended for sauces and condiments, it sits naturally on a laid table alongside the Dalia candleholders and salt and pepper cellars.

Murano glass bowl
Natural bronze produced with the lost wax technique
Each piece is unique
During her childhood in Rome, Osanna and her sister would play with pieces of art created for their mother by Lucio Fontana, Mario Ceroli and Arnaldo Pomodoro. One could say that the pieces she creates today, are inspired by those wonderful memories, or maybe, they are a result of her own femininity… or maybe both. “I made jewellery for a few years, but then I decided to make jewels for the home, with the same technique but on a larger scale”. In recent years, Osanna’s attention has increasingly focused on objects and furnishings. Made by the best artisans, every creation is modelled by hand from wax, which is then fused in an art foundry. “I would define myself as an artisan because I love crafting things, and I would also define myself as being somewhat of a designer. I really like being in the foundry where the wax models are made, spending my days modelling with my hands.”
