The Balloton vase by VENINI represents a masterpiece of Murano glass art, where technical mastery meets the poetry of color. Its characteristic matelassé texture, achieved through the ancient Balloton technique, creates a fascinating optical illusion: the glass takes on an almost textile softness, inviting touch while deceiving the eye with its apparent malleability.
In this new interpretation, the vase is adorned in the extraordinary Lilac Mint nuance, a color that tells the story of the most intimate and secret Venice. Like wisteria blooming in the hidden gardens of the lagoon, the lilac blends delicately with minty shades, creating a chromatic dialogue that evokes spring freshness and the sweetness of memories.
Each vase is a unique piece, blown and crafted entirely by hand by Murano’s master glassmakers. The Balloton surface is created through a complex process that requires precision and experience: the glass is blown into a mold that imprints the characteristic relief pattern of small diamonds, while a colored thread, applied while hot, defines and embellishes the upper edge of the vase.
Perfect as a central decorative element in a contemporary space or as a refined complement in a classic interior, the Balloton vase lends itself to multiple interpretations. Its versatility makes it ideal both as a precious vessel for floral arrangements, where the particular texture creates a fascinating play of light with the water, and as a standalone sculpture capable of capturing and reflecting light in a unique way.
The Lilac Mint nuance, exclusive to VENINI, transforms this vase into a timeless object that encapsulates the essence of the Venetian spring: the delicacy of blooming wisteria merges with the freshness of new green, creating a chromatic harmony that speaks of rebirth and that secret beauty that only Venice knows how to cherish.
