The Fazzoletto vase, designed by Fulvio Bianconi for Venini Murano in the 1950s, is a remarkable example of Italian mid-century glass artistry. Crafted from hand-blown Murano glass, its silhouette is inspired by the soft, flowing movement of a handkerchief—undulating, irregular edges mimic the gentle fall of fabric, as if capturing motion in glass. The primary hue is a cool, translucent white, interlaced with broad, spiraling bands of olive green; these semi-transparent stripes feature a delicate mesh texture achieved with the reticello filigree technique, adding depth and complexity to the surface. The glossy finish enhances the glass’s clarity and the way light plays across the sculpted waves. Its proportions are refined: a narrow base (8 cm in diameter) gently expands upward to a wide, flared opening at a height of 20.5 cm. The piece is preserved in excellent condition, with no visible damage or traces of restoration. This vessel embodies the creative energy of postwar Italy, where modernist aspirations met centuries-old craftsmanship. The story of 1950s Murano glass is one of dialogue between tradition and artistic innovation: glass, long a staple of the Venetian islands, is here transformed by Bianconi into a dynamic, almost weightless form—frozen waves or a breeze captured in transparent material. The interplay of clear bands and delicate curves evokes the summer light of Venice, shimmering on the lagoon. This vase not only showcases technical
