Fazzoletto hand-blown murano glass medium vase

The Fazzoletto vase is one of the first works designed by Fulvio Bianconi for Venini in 1948. To achieve its sweeping form, a maestro in Murano utilises the 15th-century mano volante (flying hand) technique, where soft moulds are spun around to form the silhouette of a handkerchief swaying in the breeze. Only one glassmaster can perform this gesture, making each creation a true wonder of the world.
