Quattro Stagioni decorative glass plate

Quattro Stagioni decorative glass plate by Venini

Plates blown glasses hand worked with the "incalmo" technique, with a "murrina" in centre. Then grounded with a "battuto" effect.
Its mask face, name and matter speak of Venice. This vase by Fabio Novembre conveys the humanity, charm and elegance of this city, as well as its soul of glass.

INCALMO - This is one of the most complex crafting techniques: the Incalmo consists in heating the glass to combine two hand-blown shapes along their circumference in order to obtain one object in which different areas, usually in different colours, suggestively meet.

MURRINE - This is one of the most ancient decorative techniques, known already by the Romans and recovered in Murano in the early 1880s. It consists in combining several Canes (in Italian, Canne) of glass in different colours into a pre-established pattern. The composition is heated up until it melts into one single cane, which is then carefully cut into small sections. These glass sections are then placed in a specific order and heated up again in order to work and blow them into the final shape of the object.

BATTUTO (BEATEN) - This is the cold-crafting technique that most challenges the skill and delicacy of the master glassmaker. The distinctive characteristic of Beaten glass is that its surface is “sculpted” by hand with a grinding wheel. This creates countless small and apparently irregular marks on the glass surface.
