Medium “Fazzoletto” Vase, 24 cm – 700.02 – Paraiba Green – Venini

Paraiba Green Fazzoletto Vase, H 24 cm – Venini (Design: Fulvio Bianconi and Paolo Venini)

This timeless icon of Italian design takes on the hues of the rarest gemstone.

Created in 1948 by the genius of Fulvio Bianconi and Paolo Venini, the Fazzoletto is one of the most famous and celebrated works of glass art in the world. On display in the most prestigious international museums, such as New York’s MoMA, this vase is the perfect embodiment of Murano’s artisanal mastery combined with the purest formal intuition.

This stunning version stands out for its exceptional Paraiba Green color: a mesmerizing, fresh, and sophisticated shade inspired by the tourmaline hues of the extremely rare Brazilian gem of the same name. The clear, vibrant Caribbean green plays beautifully with the light and the varying thicknesses of the glass, creating aquatic and ethereal reflections that lend an extraordinary, contemporary radiance to any space.

The magic of the Fazzoletto lies in its manufacturing technique, known as “a mano volante” (flying hand): the master glassmaker shapes the molten glass with a fluid, swift, and confident motion, guided by centrifugal force. The resulting soft, sinuous, and seemingly random folds mimic the lightness of an upside-down cloth handkerchief. Precisely because of the exquisitely artisanal nature of this process, each piece is unique and one-of-a-kind: no two Fazzoletto vases will ever be identical.

In its 24-cm dimensions, the Fazzoletto Verde Paraiba vase is a striking piece of perfect balance. It is the ideal choice to enhance a console table, complement a designer living room, or serve as a gift of the utmost prestige and inestimable artistic value.
