The VENINI Clessidra Sommersa represents a masterpiece of Murano glassmaking, where technical mastery meets the poetry of color. This iconic vase, characterized by its double-bulb shape that evokes the flow of time, is reinterpreted through the new and exclusive Mint Lilac shade, a chromatic combination that celebrates the encounter between the delicacy of Venetian wisteria flowers and the springtime freshness of young leaves.
The craftsmanship masterfully combines two historical techniques of the Murano tradition: "sommerso" glass, which creates depth and layers of color through successive immersions of incandescent glass, and "incalmo," which allows for the perfect union of two separately blown elements. This fusion of techniques gives the vase an extraordinary visual complexity, where the Mint Lilac develops in shades and transparencies that vary with the incidence of light.
Perfect as a central decorative element in a contemporary setting or as a refined furnishing accessory in classic spaces, the Clessidra Sommersa lends itself to multiple interpretations: it can hold elaborate floral arrangements, enhancing the natural elegance of cut flowers, or shine as a standalone sculpture, capturing and transforming light within its sinuous forms. Its scenographic presence makes it ideal for embellishing dining tables, entrance consoles, or display cabinets, where its distinctive silhouette and evocative color create a focal point of extraordinary refinement.
Each Clessidra Sommersa is a unique piece, signed by VENINI, which embodies the centuries-old history of Murano glassmaking and its continuous evolution. The Mint Lilac nuance, inspired by the secret gardens of Venice, transforms this vase into a bridge between tradition and contemporary life, between the memory of Venetian palaces and the freshness of a timeless design.
