ABOUT PRODUCTID 5192
The “Fazzoletto” carafe, designed by Fulvio Bianconi for Venini, embodies the mastery of Murano glassmaking from the 1950s. Hand-blown in a cool turquoise hue, the vessel features spiraling milky white stripes that wrap dynamically around the elongated, teardrop-shaped body. The narrow neck gently flares at the spout, while the clear glass handle—attached by hand with subtle air bubbles visible in the join—reflects traditional Venetian techniques. The carafe is notable for its lack of additional ornamentation or metal fittings, emphasizing the purity of form, harmonious proportions, and the luminous quality of the carefully polished glass. It is preserved in excellent condition, with no damages or signs of wear. This carafe quietly tells the story of Italian mid-century modernism: its organic curves and airy silhouette evoke the spirit of the 1950s, an era when Murano celebrated color innovation and artisanal prowess. The spiraling bands and transparent handle invite interplay with light, reflecting and refracting rays like the Venetian lagoon at dawn. It is an object that seems to whisper of the joy of creation—of the moment when molten glass yields to the artist’s hand and becomes a small, functional artifact. In an interior, the carafe can serve as a striking accent on a dark wood console, surrounded by minimalist ceramics or geometric vases from the 1950s. It pairs well with mid-century modern spaces but also fits eclectic collector’s settings—simply combine it with a mirror or metal sculpture to highlight the glass’s radiant character. It can be displayed on a bookshelf among vintage books and objects, bringing a touch of Italian artistry and lightness to the room.
