Murano Glass “Inciso” Bottle (Decanter) with Stopper by Paolo Venini, Venini, Murano (Italy).
Bottle and matching stopper in purple Murano glass, blown and finely cold-cut according to the inciso technique, emblematic of Paolo Venini’s work in the 1950s.
Both a utilitarian object and a decorative sculpture, this bottle embodies the synthesis sought by Venini between formal rigor, purity of line, and technical mastery. A remarkable example of inciso production, reflecting the modern and timeless aesthetic developed at the Venini glassworks in the post-war years.
