Master glassmakers, from a mixture of substances including silica, shaped objects that met the refined taste of the time. A stylistic code defined by precious ornaments, which had the undiscussed leading role of the collections proposed up until the fifties of the past century, when a very important change is established: to prefer clean shape and purity of material.
