The baluster-shaped body is blown in black glass with opaque white lattimo inclusions, creating a mottled “pebble” surface effect. To achieve this, a gather of molten glass was rolled across fragments of white glass, which fused into the surface when reheated. The form was then blown and shaped, resulting in a unique, organic pattern that reflects Murano’s centuries-old decorative traditions.

The lamp retains its original Venini paper label with amphora silhouette and “Made in Italy” text — a mark documented from the mid-1950s through the 1970s and an important indicator of authenticity. It is finished with a polished brass collar and wired for a standard E27/E26 bulb. Shade not included.

Founded in 1921, Venini became renowned for blending Murano craftsmanship with modern design, collaborating with Carlo Scarpa, Fulvio Bianconi, and Tobia Scarpa. This lamp represents that legacy — a refined, timeless example of Venini’s artistry in lighting. This piece has an attribution mark,
