VENINI - HANDMADE 700.00 ACQUAMARE
Handkerchiefs are icons of world glass art. Designed by Fulvio Bianconi for Venini, they are made of hand-blown glass in double opaline colour.
This handkerchief is 31 cm high, has a diameter of 23 cm, and is made of Murano glass handcrafted by Venini master glassmakers, Aquamare colour.
Its shapes are sinuous and soft, thanks to the folds that recall those of fabrics, the color of the vase comes to life between spaces of light and shadow. A very elegant object known throughout the world as a masterpiece of Made in Italy excellence.
The wide chromatic range created by VENINI has no equals throughout Murano and is today a heritage of inestimable value.
Each of the 125 colors starts from a specific recipe and translates into a variety of constantly evolving shades. The imagination that guides the search for new shades is also reflected in the choice of names: Pagliesco, Verde Erba, Orizzonte, Acquamare, Uva, Adriatico, Tè, Giallo Ambra and Notturno are just some of the exclusive and evocative colors of VENINI, inspired by Venice and nature.
Glass is mainly composed of very pure silica sand and metal oxides, the variable combination of which determines very different colors and intensities.
During the evening this mixture is melted at very high temperatures in containers inside the ovens, technically called crucibles. Here the minerals transform into boiling magma with a specific color. The cooking of the glass lasts all night, with the oven melting the raw materials at a temperature of around 1,400 degrees. At dawn, the molten material is ready for modeling by the master glassmakers.
It is not only the furnace that determines the color of the glass, the temperature and external humidity of the environment, as well as the type of firing, can also influence shades and shades.
The change enriches the single color variant with further uniqueness, making each work even more exclusive.
