FAZZOLETTO vase-sculpture by FULVIO BIANCONI and PAOLO VENINI in 1948. The “FAZZOLETTO” was born from the collaboration between FULVIO BIANCONI and PAOLA VENINI with a soft shape and a wavy and moved hem, always unique, obtained with the flying hand technique.The vase-sculpture, which has become a timeless icon and entered the permanent collection of the MoMA in New York, is made from blown glass by what is known as the “flying hand” technique.The term free-hand (in Italian, “mano volante”, literally ‘flying hand’) indicates the swift and expert movement of the master glassmaker’s hand as he hot works a precious piece of glass.

MONOFIORE BALLOTON vase, designed by VENINI,1970. It looks soft, but it's glass. The optical illusion is couched in its name: Balloton, the traditional glassblowing technique that recreates the matelassé look on the surface. A fine lip in a contrasting colour hot-worked around the mouth of the vase shows the glassworks’ signature style.Small vials, like ancient treasures that have been discovered in unknown places. Perhaps in the room of a refined woman from the past, a lover of beauty and fragrance. These blown glass ampoules with caps have the delicacy of personal belongings, with details that appear like curious florets blooming upward.

RITAGLI (‘Scraps’) uses a glassmaking technique devised by FULVIO BIANCONI, the most innovative and suggestive of the twentieth century: small rectangular glass strips applied one on top of the other, on a base of a truncated cone which has been blown and worked by hand. Iridescent green and aquamarine, iridescent sand and red meet on a contour that seems to have always been in existence, yet it is dated 1989. Like desert plants. Futuristic architecture.
