Blown in a warm amber tone, the vase features a classical elongated body with a flared rim and applied clear glass handles. The restrained silhouette and subtle darkened lip are characteristic of Zecchin’s early work for Venini, where he reintroduced simplified forms inspired by ancient Roman and early Venetian glass.
