The fantasy that guides the search for new shades is also reflected in the choice Names: Picturesque, green grass, horizon, aquamine, grapes, Adriatic, tea, amber and night yellow are just some of the exclusive and evocative colors of Venini, inspired by Venice and From nature.
The glass is mainly composed of pure silica sand and metal oxides, of which the variable combination determines different colors and intensities between them.
During the evening this compound is merged with very high temperatures in containers present inside the ovens, technically called crucibles. Here the minerals turn into a boiling magma with a precise color. The cooking of the glass lasts all night, with the oven that blends the raw materials at a temperature of about 1,400 degrees. At dawn, the molten material is ready for modeling glass masters.
It is not only the furnace to determine the color of the glass, even the external temperature and humidity of the environment, in addition to the cooking genre, can affect shades and shades.
The change enriches the single chromatic variant with further uniqueness, making each work even more.
