Murrine Romane glass vase by Venini

The splendor of Ancient Rome – of its myths, culture and art – comes to life in these beautiful and timeless creations.
The colour arrangement creates unique effects evoking a dreamlike world that was once reality. The shades of red, green and yellow of the frescoes that once adorned Ancient Roman residences and palaces turned into glass in 1940. In the form of a unique glass vase and a bowl by Carlo Scarpa.

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.
