Dama glass vase

Dama glass vase by Venini

She moves with grace around the Fornace (Kiln), as the glassblowers play with her colours, choosing their moves carefully. Nonetheless, she always wins the game.
She challenges others with her beauty. Austere in white, elegant in black. An endless series of murrine forms her checkerboard, always creating a new motif, like a new chess game.

SOFFIATO (BLOWN) - This technique takes its name from the action performed by the craftsmen when they blow air into a long metal cane attached to a piece of glass in order to expand and shape it into various shapes. This glassmaking tradition has remained unchanged for more than a thousand years. Thanks to this ancient technique and to the experience and manual skill of the master glassmakers, a simple piece of glass is transformed into artistic masterpieces that are truly one of a kind.

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.
