Bolle Vase 503.00 Purple-Ambra-Apple Green – Venini

The Venini Bolle 503.00 vase is one of the finest examples of the historic collection designed in 1966 by Finnish designer Tapio Wirkkala. Compared to the two-tone variations in the same series, the 503.00 model stands out for its complexity and visual impact thanks to an extraordinary three-part color scheme that highlights the Murano glassworks’ mastery of color and technique.

This unique combination brings together three vibrant shades, each rich in character: the central section ranges from the warm, enveloping notesof Ambra to the profound elegance of Purple, culminating at the slender neck with a burst of contemporary freshness provided by Apple Green. The result is a sculpture of iridescent light, where the three colors enhance one another depending on the ambient lighting.

The Double-Laminating Technique: A Masterpiece of Craftsmanship

The Bolle collection is world-renowned for its use of the“Incalmo” technique, but in the 503.00 model, Venini’s master glassmakers go a step further by executing an extremely difficult double “Incalmo.” This masterful technique requires the hot fusion of three distinct pieces of blown glass—each of a different color and still in a molten state—along a perfect circumference. The millimeter-level precision required to fuse the Purple, Ambra, and Apple Green without creating any smudges or asymmetries makes each piece a one-of-a-kind work of art and a source of pride for the Murano glassmaking tradition.

A Collector’s Item with an International Design

The Bolle 503.00 embodies the perfect harmony between Scandinavian-inspired geometric minimalism and Italian color flair. With its slender silhouette and finely calibrated narrow neck, it is a captivating piece of furniture, ideal for adding prestige to a modern living area, enhancing an entryway console, or enriching a display case of designer objects.
