Mezza filigrana glass bowl

VENINI

Glass bowl in mezza filigrana glass

By revisiting the ancient half-filigree (mezza filigrana) technique, already in use in the 16th century, Scarpa designed a refined series of glass pieces, which was presented at the Venice Biennale in 1934. 

Half-filigree glass features an extremely thin and clear texture, made of a series of clear glass rods with at their centre a piece of lattimo or coloured glass.

Corresponds to the model 3518 from the Venini Blue Catalogue.

Design by Carlo Scarpa for Venini.
