Tessuti Battuti Vase by Carlo Scarpa for Venini

Italian Murano Glass Mid-Century Inspired Sculptural Vase

The Tessuti Battuti vase is one of Carlo Scarpa’s most refined explorations of rhythm, light, and texture in Murano glass. Its elongated, softly tapered silhouette is enriched with Scarpa’s signature vertical ribbing — a meticulously engraved surface pattern that recalls the delicacy of fine woven textiles. The vibrant red tone emphasises the sculptural depth of the form, making this piece a timeless expression of Venetian craftsmanship.

The artistry of Carlo Scarpa for Venini
Designed during Scarpa’s pivotal years at Venini, the Tessuti Battuti series showcases his mastery of combining traditional Murano techniques with architectural precision. Each vase is hand-blown and individually cold-worked using the battuto method, where artisans engrave the surface to create rhythmic, tactile facets. This labour-intensive process results in a vase that shifts beautifully with light, revealing subtle variations in colour and pattern.

A museum-worthy centrepiece for collectors
Slender, elegant, and architecturally balanced, this vase stands as both a functional object and a sculptural artwork. Perfect for collectors of Scarpa, Venini glass, or mid-century design, it serves as a striking standalone piece or as part of a curated glass collection.
