Salviati Aria: Murano Glass Rigadin Vases
The Salviati Aria collection
Aria is the Murano glass vase collection designed by Renzo Stellon. It was created for those who desire an object that is visually light and slender, capable of giving rhythm to a room with an elegant and sculptural presence. Each vase is hand-blown and tapers towards the top, creating a sinuous silhouette that guides the eye like a continuous movement.
Rigadin and finishes: material, light, touch
The surface features vertical lines achieved through the rigadin technique, a subtle ribbing that amplifies the verticality and offers a pleasant grip. The glossy finish enhances reflections and color depth. The satin finish diffuses light and creates a softer, silkier effect.

Styling tip: combine two or three vases of different heights, with different finishes, to create a composition that seems to move through space.
Curiosities about Salviati Aria vases
What does rigadin mean in Murano glass?
Rigadin is a technique that creates thin raised lines on the glass surface. In the Aria vase, the lines are vertical and increase the visual slenderness, in addition to making the object more tactile and easier to hold.
What is the difference between a glossy and a satin finish?
The glossy finish reflects more light and makes the color more vibrant. The satin finish softens reflections and diffuses light, creating a softer, velvety appearance.
How do I choose the right size for the Aria vase?
Small is ideal for shelves and consoles. Medium works well on tables and sideboards as a focal point. Large is perfect for the floor or large surfaces, even with branches and tall arrangements.
Is Aria suitable for compositions with multiple vases?
Yes. Aria is designed as a family of heights: placing two or three sizes side by side creates an effect of movement and verticality. You can also alternate between glossy and satin for a richer play of light.
Are Salviati Aria vases hand-blown?
Yes. Aria is crafted using artisanal methods and is hand-blown, a characteristic that provides natural variations and makes each piece unique in its presence.
