Vases are one of the most ancient kind of art.
The vases are usual composed by the same parts: foot, the lower part, body, the [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] central, and most important part of the vase, the neck, where the vase is more squeezed, the shoulder where body meet neck, and in finally the lips, the higher part. ?
We can divide the vases in two different types: the [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] first one are the pots [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] that have specific usefulness, and the second one are the vases that [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] not have a [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] specific role, but are created only for decorating the environment.
In the [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] first one category we can talk [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] about pots like Alabastron, used in the ancient World, especially in Greece and Egypt, for holding perfume or oil.
Another kind of vase is called Amphora, a ceramic or terracotta pot with [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] two handles, used to transport wine, oil, [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] fish sauce, jam, honey, and more.
The first Amphora is appeared in 15th century Before Christ on Syrian coast.
Another kind of pot is Situla, iron vase that have the shape of a bucket. [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
The Situla was [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] diffused in ?Iron Age populations, like Etruscan, Celts, and Germanic cultures.
In modern age we have a differents kinds of vases, but the most spread are the ornamental pots.
In this category are very spread the glass pots.
The most famous are probably the decorated vases of Murano, created with technique [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] of blowing glass.
This kind of pots does not have a specific role, but they are really beautiful.
For this reason are used to decorate the environment and especially [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] the important rooms,
Glass is product created from silicon mixtures (quartz, sand, sodium, iron, calcium, and more). [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
To create coloured glass, the artisan add some metallic oxides for different colors.Cobalt for blue, Copper for red, and so on.
Glass and vases production of Murano has not changed during the centuries.
Nowadays there aren't new techniques to make [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] the special glass of Murano: the result depends most of all on the expertise and the artistic skills of the glass artisan.
