Venini Balloton Vase 100.46 Iceberg Red Thread

Venini Balloton Vase 100.46 Iceberg Filo Rosso

While the surface of the glass abandons its hardness. The innovations introduced by Balloton capture the gaze and deceive it. First in 1970 and then in 2016. “It seems soft, yet it is glass. The optical illusion of this VENINI vase from 1970 is in its name: Balloton, the unique process that recreates the matelassé effect on the surface. The work is handmade, blown into the characteristic metal mold and finished in the thin neck with a hot-applied colored thread, which varies in color.”
