• Lafiore is a glassblowing factory located in Mallorca, Spain, founded in 1964 by the Tortella family

• Scavo is a glassmaking technique introduced in Murano in the early 1950s by artists such as Alfredo Barbini and Cenedese, designed to mimic the dusty, etched patina of ancient glass artifacts unearthed from archaeological digs.

The process involves applying a secret mixture of carbonates, nitrates, and silica to the glass surface at approximately 800°C, creating a permanent, opaque, and textured finish that imitates centuries of underground aging.
