One of the Maestro’s most enduring and iconic series, the Dinosaur series represents the drama of glassblowing. Lino stretches and curves the neck of the vessel in the last moments of the glassblowing process a feat that requires the precision and attention of the entire glass-blowing team.

One translation of Chiocciola in Italian is 'snail,' a name chosen by the Maestro due to the visual resemblance between the swirling patterns of the particular murrine and the spiral shape of a snail’s shell. These distinctive blown vessels are meticulously crafted using zanfirico cane segments, which enhance the sense of movement and complexity within each form.

The name Tatoosh refers to a small cabin at Pilchuck where the Maestro and Lina used to stay. This style of work uses a similar technique to his Asola series in terms of cane work. The Maestro creates different layers by creating a multicolored cane twisted around three times. He starts by blowing the piece at a certain point, then stuffs the piece into a mild which creates the zigzag pattern. This technique is defined by its intricate cane pattern.

This series uses elegant teardrop shapes to showcase the intricate cane and engraving on their surfaces. Because Lino has blown these vessels to have a very narrow base, the impression is that the artworks are floating on air.

The inspiration for the bands of color came from his first visit to Piccadilly Circus in London, where Lino was inspired to recreate the vibrant colors from the illuminated billboards and signs in glass, by using the complicated incalmo technique. The Maestro wanted to use different colors in irregular positions to give the idea of how energetic and full of life that area of London actually is.

Artworks like Stromboli have simpler forms, which allow Lino to more dramatically play with color and design. Lino will often play with transparency in the murrina, which allows him to highlight not only the exterior of the vessel but the inside as well.

Named after a warm wind coming from the southeast, Scirocco is a unique artwork both in shape and color. For this artwork, the Maestro employed colorful murrine—small, patterned pieces of glass—arranged in a deliberately irregular and spontaneous manner to create a one-of-a-kind pattern.

Named for the floral pattern of its murrina, Florencia vesseles are created by layering and folding together different colors of flat ribbon cane in order to create a petal-like structure within the rod of stretched glass. Once sliced into small pieces, the murrine are laid out on a heating stone and grouped tightly together. When laying out the murrine, Lino can assess how the glass pieces will stretch and shape during the blowing process.

These stoic pieces are named for the Makah Tribe which hails from the Northwesternmost tip of Washington State. Inspired by the tribe’s culture, Lino sought to make artworks that were equally intricate and layered as a tribute to the Makah’s rich history.
