The VENINI Balloton vase represents a masterpiece of Murano glassmaking, 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 and playing with the sandblasted surface.
In this version with a wider opening to accommodate more flowers, the vase is adorned in the extraordinary Lilac Mint nuance, a color that tells the story of the most intimate and secret Venice. Like the 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 master glassmakers. The Balloton surface is created through a complex process requiring precision and experience: the glass is blown into a mold that imprints the characteristic relief diamond pattern, while a colored glass thread, applied hot, defines and embellishes the upper edge of the vase.
Perfect as a central decorative element in a contemporary setting or as a refined addition to 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 captures the essence of the Venetian spring: the delicacy of blooming wisteria merges with the freshness of new greenery, creating a chromatic harmony that speaks of rebirth and that secret beauty only Venice can guard.
