Venini & Vittorio Zecchin Veronese vase

Circa: 2015

Blown glass vase signed 'Venini' and dated 2015 under the base
Designed in 1921 by Vittorio Zecchin, artistic director of Venini from 1921 to 1925, this splendid mouth-blown glass vase boasts a delicate shape, reminiscent of ancient vases, inspired by a painting of 1580 by Paolo Veronese, The Annunciation of the Virgin. It is executed with the "soffiato" technique in clear glass with a clear crystal sphere adorning the footed base.
