Designed by Zynsky in 1984, this specific museum-quality example was meticulously executed in 1989.
The vase showcases an incredibly complex execution: it is crafted using the incamiciato (jacketed) technique, featuring a vibrant mint-green inner layer cased within an outer lattimo (milk glass) layer. Splashes of rich, polychrome canes—deeply reminiscent of Zynsky’s celebrated, signature filet de verre thread technique—are fused directly into the lattimo layer to create a stunning, abstract graphic composition.
An exceptional find for serious collectors, this piece retains its original label near the rim and bears the authentic engraved signature on the base "Zynsky x Venini 89".
