An Authority Beyond Its Size
Imperio is a hand-crafted Italian art glass bull — compact, dense, and possessed of an authority entirely disproportionate to its 11 cm height. In warm amber and honey tones, it captures the low-slung weight and barely-restrained power of a bull at rest: small enough to hold in one hand, significant enough to hold a room.
The Force of Nature, Made Physical
From the Indus Valley to Minoan Crete, the bull has represented power and the force of nature made physical. In Italian and Spanish culture it carries courage — the dignity of strength under control.
A Small Object, a Long History
In Italian, 'impero' means empire. Italian studios have made animal figurines since the fourteenth century, the bull always among the most prized — a test of suggesting mass and muscle in a material whose nature is lightness.
