scarpa and samonà.
he began collaborating with venini in the 1960s: his first glass works, following the family
tradition, were animals made of polychrome glass with precious techniques, such as "murrine".

glass system, the "vetrate grosse". Later, he expanded his glass production with new colors and
subjects, participating in numerous exhibitions around the world.
venini
over the course of these one hundred years of history and passion, venini has preserved and
interpreted a unique artistic heritage, which has its roots in the venetian culture of the 1200s, giving
life to unmistakable works capable of blending together the profound knowledge of tradition with
the charm of contemporary aesthetics. Recently this brand of excellence is part of the damiani
group which with its creations promotes the profound values of made in italy, beauty and savoir
faire on an international level. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
