"Bovano glass enamels have an appeal that is unlike any other material.  Their appearance is unique for a number of reasons.  First, the brilliance of the fused glass colors is achieved by enhancing the glass formulations with metal coloring agents.  Second, the high quality feel and texture of glass adds a very realistic and luxurious ambiance to the surface of the sculptures. Finally, glass enamels are often transparent or translucent in nature.  When enamels are fused to the metal surface, the color and texture of the solid copper can be seen through the glass surface.  This adds an exciting irridescent feature to the individual colored enamels, giving them, as well as the sculpture, life-like depth and dimension.  Combining these factors, along with the enamel's fade resistant character, leaves each piece with a beautiful, long-lasting finish.  We, at Bovano, believe there is no other material that can claim to have the rich, enduring beauty of glass enamel.
For 50 years, Bovano artisans have been creating original decorative sculptures which capture the beauty of nature.  Each enamel piece is hand made with vitreous enamel on copper, using a 1600 degree fusing process to produce a smooth glass coating."                                                                                                                               -Bovano-
