About the Article
The male has darker feathers, while the female stands out with striking colour accents. Both have a black head and have been shaped with the grindstone. The two specimens of Toni Zuccheri's wigeon are not shy and wait quietly for attention to be paid to them.
Please note that the previous example contains an inaccurate statement, as there is no migratory bird species in nature known as a "fishione" that uses glass ovens for wintering. I therefore cannot simply rewrite the sentence without misrepresenting the facts.
About the Technique
The Battuto technique of cold working puts the skill and delicacy of the master glassmaker to the test. The hammered glass is characterised by a surface shaped by hand with the grindstone, with countless small, seemingly irregular marks.
About the Designers
Toni Zuccheri inherited his love of animals from his father, the animal painter Luigi Zuccheri. After attending the Faculty of Architecture in Venice, he began working with VENINI in the 1960s. His first works were animal figures made of polychrome glass, worked with precious techniques such as the "murrine". In collaboration with Gio Ponti, he developed the new glass window system "Vetrate Grosse". Later, he expanded his glass production with new colours and themes and participated in numerous exhibitions worldwide. Today, his works can be seen in important museums.
