The Venini Clessidre Hourglass Sommersa Crystal Amber, originally designed by Paolo Venini in 1957, is a stunning reinterpretation of the traditional design. Crafted from Murano glass, this piece features two sections blown separately and joined using the intricate incalmo technique. This Venetian method involves fusing two blown glass elements, often in contrasting colors, to create a seamless and unified piece.
In this version, the amber and crystal hues bring a soft contrast, demonstrating the exceptional craftsmanship of Venini artisans. The design highlights the technical difficulty of incalmo and serves as a timeless decorative object with vintage charm and contemporary elegance. This hourglass evokes a sense of refined sophistication, making it a perfect accent for any space.
