About the Item
A striking mid-century modern glass object by renowned Italian designer Paolo Venini, crafted on the island of Murano in the 1950s. This piece is part of the celebrated "Inciso" series, known for its finely etched surface texture that creates a frosted, tactile quality. The object features a softly rounded, cylindrical form with horizontal incision lines wrapping around the entire piece—an effect achieved through meticulous cold-working techniques.
At its core lies a deep cobalt or midnight blue inclusion, encapsulated within the clear glass body. This internal color element appears suspended and subtly magnified by the surrounding translucent material, giving the object a quiet but compelling presence—akin to a captured droplet of ink or a glowing orb within ice.
Ideal as a paperweight, sculptural accent, or collectible art glass object, this work exemplifies Venini’s mastery of both form and finish.
