It is a shaded ribbed with the typical hansw handles and the curl at the upper end. It has the ribs in the same way as the other vases and the typical unhealed morisa on the bottom and at the mouth. And of course the ombre technique, which was zecchin's signature. They have the typical defects of their production, inclusions due to the charcoal-fired furnaces and lack of sealing (the sealing of the overlap of the glass application on the mouth and bottom). The unpolished punishing deadlift. It was produced in the 1920s-30s. Not in line with the attribution is the color aquamarine. The production of venini and cappellin was predominantly blue at the time. There is an aquamarine vase for reference. The asymmetry of the two handles. Even the rigadino on the gradient was not seen (which is not against the attribution). I am convinced that it is by zecchin martinuzzi and is most likely a prototype or a first series with the newly introduced aquamarine color. A collectible vase from the pre-war murano period.
