Fulvio Bianconi's ingenious use of 15th century milk glass technique gives the vase a unique colour. The shape resembles women's skirts swaying in the wind. No other fazzoletto opalini (milk glass handkerchief) in the world resembles this work.
Die Fazzoletto-Kollektion (Taschentuch) wurde von dem Künstler Fulvio Bianconi im Jahr 1948 kreiert und im Laufe der Jahre durch Beiträge anderer berühmter Künstler erweitert. Die Kollektion spiegelt die fließende Bewegung von Stoffen wider, ähnlich wie bei Röcken und erzeugt damit ein mutiges und doch elegantes Design.
The term "mano volante", which translates as "flying hand", describes the deft and precise movement of the master glassmaker's hand while hot working fine glass.
Fulvio Bianconi lived in Milan and worked as a graphic designer and illustrator for publishers such as Mondadori, Bompiani and Garzanti. Alongside this, he devoted himself to his passion for glass and travelled to Murano several times in 1946 to learn more about glass art. Here he met Paolo Venini, whose creativity marked a turning point for VENINI. Bianconi constantly experimented with new techniques for working with glass and created iconic works such as the Figure della Commedia dell'Arte, Tiepolo, Fazzoletto, Sirene and Pezzati.. Paolo Venini, a Milanese lawyer with a family tradition of glassmaking, founded VENINI in 1921 with the antiquarian Giacomo Cappellin. The aim was to transform the classic craft of master glassmakers into an innovative art, and thus to appear at exhibitions such as the Milan Triennale, the Venice Biennale and in other countries. Venini promoted synergy between master craftsmen, designers and architects to give a precise identity to each model that came out of his furnaces. He himself dedicated himself to design since the 1930s, creating, among others, the Diamante glass and, in collaboration with Carlo Scarpa, the Murrine Romane. His aesthetic choices and the high quality of the products brought VENINI great success.
