Design: Venini

Murano, Italy, 2nd half of 20th century

An Opalino vase by Venini, one of Murano’s most celebrated glassmakers. Introduced in the mid-20th century, the Opalino technique combines layers of translucent and opaque glass to create its distinctive soft, luminous appearance and remarkable depth of colour. Elegant in its simplicity, the vase embodies the refined approach to form and colour that made Venini an icon of modern Italian design.
