Paolo Venini ‘Inciso’
A glass vase from the ‘Inciso’ series designed by Paolo Venini, formed in thick sommerso glass with wheel-cut linear surface decoration. The series is recognised for its restrained colour layering and precise engraved pattern, illustrating Venini’s emphasis on technical refinement and understated palette during the 1950s. Acid stamped Venini, Murano, ITALIA
Designed by Paolo Venini for Venini. Murano, circa 1955
Notes The ‘Inciso’ series is among Venini’s most recognisable mid-century productions and was exhibited at the Venice Biennale in 1956. The subtle colour palette is characteristic of the firm’s output during the period.
