I Paladini glass vase by Venini

They recall the granite or marble busts of celebrated writers, inventors or philosophers. Their unwavering and imperious tone wisely guides us in protecting knowledge.
Eternal and motionless, frozen in a proud and wise pose, they turn into glass in the hands of the master glassblowers. They are the paladins of the ancient art of glassblowing.Their unique colour combinations embody the spirit of the defenders of knowledge, past and present.

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.

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.

FASCE (BANDS) - The master glassmaker pours a molten pattern of coloured glass threads, which are technically called Bands, onto a generally transparent body of glass placed in the centre. After blending them into each other, he covers everything with an extremely thin layer of crystal thus obtaining an irregular and highly impactful chromatic pattern.
