Idria

Venini Idria vases, introduced in 2016, transform the ancient role of the vase from mere container to a work of art. These hand-blown opaline glass vases elegantly combine soft, rounded bases with conical elements, achieving a harmonious balance that celebrates timeless beauty.

Inspired by ancient Greek water vessels, the Idria vases reimagine the transition from terracotta to glass, with Venini’s innovative design echoing the grace of antiquity. Despite being a recent addition to Venini’s collection, these vases pay homage to historical traditions while embodying modern sophistication.

Crafted using the overlay technique, one of Murano’s oldest glass-working methods, the Idria vases showcase the unparalleled expertise of Venini’s artisans. This technique involves layering a delicate sheet of colored glass between two transparent layers, creating a unique play of colors that shifts with the light.

Produced on Murano, the renowned “Glass Island” in Italy, Venini’s Idria vases stand as a testament to the luxury and exclusivity of Murano glass. Their distinctive colors and reflective qualities make them exceptional examples of the art of glassmaking, blending historical elegance with contemporary craftsmanship.
