Venini - Narciso red grey vase

Narcissus is a hand blown and handcrafted opaline glass centerpiece by Venini. Made with the opalini technique, it is available in two colors: Red/Talpa and Verde Mela/Talpa. Narciso is in direct derivation of Venini's historic Fazzoletto.  This iconic vase reinvents itself, opening its petals, and extending them to bloom into this delicate Narcissus. Glass bowls blown in two overlapping colors. The workmanship, completely handmade, is evident in the pleating of the upper rim and the shading of the colors. The name Narcissus evokes reference to the corolla of flowers that are always different and unique.
"Born from nature and art, but above all from the technique of the Master Glassmaker who, with a rapid movement, enlarges the glass disc while keeping its outer profile free. The resulting floral shape is proposed soft, gentle. The beauty and colors trace those of myth."
