Pizzicato Vase: Layered Colour and Traditional Venetian Texture
Pizzicato is all about contrast.
Its expressive colour, opaque appearance and richly textured surface create a distinctive Murano glass vase that brings together traditional Venetian glassmaking techniques and contemporary decorative design.
The result is a piece with a strong personality, designed to attract attention through the relationship between colour, shape and texture.
The Beauty of Layered Glass
Pizzicato is crafted using the traditional incamiciato technique, which involves overlapping layers of differently coloured glass.
A thin white layer is placed between the coloured layers, giving the finished vase its characteristic opaque appearance.
This construction allows the red and amethyst versions to display rich, consistent colour while retaining the depth and character of handcrafted glass.
Rather than relying on painted decoration, Pizzicato achieves its visual effect through the glass itself.
A Distinctive Ballotton Texture
The vase is shaped using a traditional ballotton mould, creating the recognizable Venetian textured pattern across its exterior.
This decorative surface catches light differently from smooth glass, introducing a rhythmic pattern of highlights and shadows.
The texture also provides an appealing contrast to the vase's clean overall silhouette, giving it visual interest without the need for additional ornament.
It's a detail that makes Pizzicato especially enjoyable to appreciate up close.
Red or Amethyst: Two Different Personalities
Pizzicato is available in two colours, each offering a different decorative effect.
Red introduces warmth and energy, making it particularly appealing against neutral furnishings, pale stone or natural wood.
Amethyst offers a deeper, more atmospheric interpretation, complementing contemporary interiors with a sophisticated touch of colour.
Measuring approximately 27 cm high and 20 cm in diameter, Pizzicato has a balanced presence suitable for sideboards, consoles, coffee tables and display shelves.
A Decorative Object with Its Own Identity
Pizzicato works beautifully as a vase, but its layered colour and textured glass also make it an attractive decorative object when displayed empty.
Use it as a focal point on its own or combine it with carefully selected objects in contrasting materials.
Custom colours and sizes are also available on request.
Choose Pizzicato when you want to bring more colour and texture into your home. Whether you prefer vibrant red or expressive amethyst, its handcrafted glass gives an everyday space a detail worth noticing.
