The "Riccio" vase by Gae Aulenti for Venini, designed in 2006, exemplifies this approach: blending sculptural form with refined technique.

Design
The vase features a spherical body crafted from transparent, azure-green blown glass. Its surface is adorned with dark blue glass tips, meticulously applied by hand while the glass is still hot. These protrusions create a tactile texture that plays with light and shadow, offering a dynamic visual experience. The harmonious blend of soft curves and pointed elements showcases Aulenti's architectural sensibility and Venini's glassmaking expertise. Measuring approximately 33 cm in diameter, the "Riccio" vase was produced in a limited edition, each signed and numbered on the base, underscoring its exclusivity and craftsmanship.

This vase is signed "Venini 2006 Gae Aulenti 21/50".

This piece is a testament to the collaborative synergy between designer and artisan. It embodies a balance between form and function, where every detail contributes to its overall presence.

Condition
The vase is in excellent condition with only minor signs of wear consistent with its age. The glass is intact, with no chips or cracks, and all the applied elements are securely attached. This piece has an attribution mark,
