Presenting an exquisite and incredibly rare Venini Murano soffiato (blown) glass vase, designed by the legendary Vittorio Zecchin.
Known for his revival of classical 16th-century Venetian forms, Zecchin's pieces are highly sought after by collectors for their breathtaking elegance and delicate craftsmanship.
This specific piece features a beautiful, twisted optic ribbed design that gracefully swirls up the long, slender neck. True to Zecchin’s celebrated soffiato technique, the glass is exceptionally thin-walled and incredibly light in the hands, showcasing the absolute pinnacle of Murano glassblowing skill.
Markings & Authenticity: This vase comes with excellent provenance markers for the serious collector:
Foil Label: The piece retains its original, vintage silver foil label reading "VENINI S.A. MURANO" clearly visible on the pontil.
Acid Stamp: Underneath the foil label, there is a very faint, three-line acid-etched signature that reads "venini murano ITALIA".
Please note: This acid stamp is incredibly faint and near-impossible to capture in photographs, but it is present and guarantees the authenticity of the piece.
Measurements: Height: 10 inches Width: 4 inches (at the widest point of the bulbous body)
Condition Report Beautiful vintage condition. The glass is remarkably clean and displays beautifully. As mentioned, the 3-line acid stamp is present but too faint to successfully photograph. Please review all photos closely, as they are an important part of the description and condition.
