Vase 30 cm, "Opalino"

About the Article

The Opalino (milk glass) vase is characterised by refined colours created by the ancient and complex processing method of milk glass. This ancient manufacturing technique, developed in the 15th century to imitate porcelain, was revived by the experimental Fornace (glass furnace). The vase, designed by Paolo Venini in 1932, captivates with its graceful shape and colours.

The Opalino collection combines the 15th century with the neoclassicism of the Novecento group of artists, creating a journey through time. The creation of the Opalino vase (milk glass) represents the discovery of a new order with essential and refined lines.

About the Technique

The Soffiato technique gets its name from the fact that craftsmen blow air into a long metal rod connected to the glass to stretch and shape it - a tradition in glassmaking that goes back thousands of years. The experience and skill of the master glassmakers, combined with this ancient process, transform simple glass into true artistic masterpieces, unique in their kind.
