Veronese Venini Vases

Vittorio Zecchin | 1921
Veronese Venini vase was first blown in 1921, thanks to the creative intuition of the artist Vittorio Zecchin, Venini’s Art Dierctor from 1921 to 1925.

Zecchin himself was inspired by the “The Annunciation of the Virgin” painted in 1580 by Paolo Veronese and now conserved in the Gallerie dell’Accademia in Venice.
This design proved a great success and went on to become one of the icons of Venini. The Veronese vase is still produced today in various color versions and remains an icon of Italian design in the world. Every year the company proposes the vase with different colors, always with the style and elegance of the old master glassmakers.

A beautiful piece of furniture, the Veronese vase is completely handcrafted and blown by the masters of Murano. Each piece has unique characteristics in shape and color.

About designer Vittorio Zecchin

Vittorio Zecchin (1878, Murano, Italy– 1947, Murano, Italy) was an influential Italian painter, tapestry maker, furniture designer, and glass designer. Zecchin attracted critics and clientele of the time with his glass designs that simultaneously evoked ancient and Renaissance styles while also instilling a new modern sensitivity. Zecchin became an influential figure in the conversation among Italian artists and designers inspired by the avant-garde sentiment in Venice during the early years of the 20th century.

From 1921 to 1925  Zecchin became the most renowned and modern glassmaker of his time. He designed transparent and lightweight pieces with elegant lines and simple shapes that clearly distinguished themselves from the highly ornate glass pieces made before his time. He often chose delicately translucid yet intense colors, such as yellow, green, amethyst, and blue, for his mostly monochromatic pieces. The iridescent quality of many of his pieces was the result of an elaborate process in which he placed the pieces.
