Combination of two most complicated crafting techniques: filigree and glassblowing. Filigree lamps are made by carving the hot copper into thin patterns. This technique was developed back in the 6th century Constantinople, at first it was used to create jewelry, however with time it transitioned to lamps. The glassblowing is performed by literally blowing air into molten glass (in case of this lamp) inside a copper or bronze body, a very old and complicated technique, the crafts men has to be extra cautious not to blow too much air into the glass because that can cause the glass bubble to pop, irreversibly damaging the lamp and causing  him to start all over again.
