Venini Monofiore Balloton Vase Sapphire X-Small

Venini Monofiore Sapphire Vase

VENINI has always created objects with a timeless design that are destined to appreciate in value. Thanks to the excellence of quality, the high artistic content, and the manufacturing value intrinsic to each piece, the hammer prices of VENINI glassware reach record figures at major auctions; in fact, the highest price ever paid for a Murano art object was for a VENINI piece, “La Sentinella di Venezia” of 1962, which fetched 737 thousand dollars.

Small vials, like ancient treasures that have been discovered in unknown places. Perhaps in the room of a refined woman from the past, a lover of beauty and fragrance. These blown glass ampoules with caps have the delicacy of personal belongings, with details that appear like curious florets blooming upward.

Blown handmade Murano glass, realized with the traditional tecnique called “Balloton”, with a glass thread, applied when hot, on the upper part of the object. Today, as 90 years ago, VENINI is a constantly developing laboratory, a place where passion for glass and fascination of the Furnace are able to enchant and thrill everyone and where ideas and intuitions, coming from international designers, come true.
