Fazzoletto Vase by Fulvio Bianconi for Venini

Italian Murano Handblown Glass Art

The Fazzoletto (“handkerchief”) vase, designed by Fulvio Bianconi for Venini, is an icon of 20th-century Italian glass design. Each piece is handblown by a master glassmaker in Murano, created with a single, fluid gesture that defines its soft, undulating form. This particular edition, rendered in vivid red glass, highlights Venini’s unparalleled ability to translate colour and movement into sculptural expression.

Murano craftsmanship and timeless artistry
Each Fazzoletto vase is unique—its organic curves shaped freehand through centuries-old Murano techniques. The vibrant red hue embodies energy, emotion, and Italian elegance, while the fluid contours evoke a sense of movement frozen in glass. Part of the MoMA permanent collection, this design remains one of the most celebrated symbols of modern glass artistry.

Design legacy
Conceived in the early 1950s, Bianconi’s Fazzoletto series transformed Murano glassmaking into an expressive art form. Today, it continues to stand as a testament to craftsmanship and creativity—perfect for collectors and interiors that value authentic Italian design heritage.
