Palpito glass vase by Venini

A breath, then another. A movement, then another. A puff, then a beat. This thick glass has a soul that dances in the light.
On closer inspection, it appears like a whirlpool of fast flowing metal bubbles. Countless bubbles brushing against the thick glass: vast, alive and clear like the ocean. Rounded like a sphere or tall like a pillar.

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.

SOMMERSO - In this decorative technique, the master glassmaker uses either a blown or solid piece of glass to create several overlapping layers in different colours for a highly suggestive chromatic effect. The glass, which is attached to a cane, is dipped into crucibles containing pieces of glass in different colours. In order to enhance the decorative effect between the different layers of glass, the master glassmaker sometimes inserts gold leaf, other metals, or air bubbles into the glass.
