A playful and expressive example of late 20th-century Murano glassmaking, this 'Ritagli' vase by Fulvio Bianconi was produced by Venini in 1998. Known for his experimental approach to form and texture, Bianconi pushed the boundaries of traditional Venetian techniques in works like this one.
Design
The vase is executed in thick blue glass, finished with an iridescent sheen that reacts subtly to light. Vertical strips of glass are layered and fused in a rhythmic grid, creating both visual movement and surface depth. Protruding ridges add tactile tension to the cylindrical form. These cut elements—or “ritagli”—build up across the body in a staggered composition. from certain angles, the vase seems to shimmer as its iridescence shifts between violet, cobalt, and petrol green hues. At the base, the glass thickens and transitions into a darker spectrum, grounding the vase visually. The top edge remains raw and softly undulating, a typical gesture in Bianconi’s work.
Bianconi’s design reflects a spontaneous energy balanced by technical control. While decorative in tone, the vase maintains a strong architectural presence. Each surface plays with contrast between polished flatness and layered relief, evoking both sculpture and utility.
