Opalino

Venini Opalino vases was designed in 1932. The remarkable and warm colours of this collection seem to glow in a different way depending on the time of day.

The Venini Opalino vases are an absolute classic from Venini. The vases made of Murano glass are made using the so-called “overlay technique”. The overlay technique is one of the oldest techniques in Murano glass production. This wonderful glass process demands a high level of expertise on the part of the glass blower. What makes these Opalino Venini glass vases so unique are the remarkable glass colours.

The opaque white glass known as lattimo was invented in Murano some time around the middle of the 15th century in an attempt to imitate porcelain, which was then beginning to enter Europe in significant quantities. Opaline glass had its golden age in the 1930s, and gives its name to the Opalino collection created by Venini in 1930-35. It’s made by encasing lattimo glass in one or more thin layers of transparent or coloured glass to obtain an intensely vivid and colourful effect.

The Venini Opalino Vases are produced in 3 different sizes, but their shape is always the same:
706.22 Ø 17 H 36 cm (6,69” – 14,17”)
