VENINI hourglass in blown glass, PAOLO VENNI, FULVIO BIANCONI
Venini blown glass hourglass designed by Paolo Venini and Fulvio Bianconi probably in 1957, characterized by the soft blue-aquamarine color, a rare color now out of production. Dimensions: Height 24 cm Diameter 9 cm In good condition. The hourglasses designed by Venini and Bianconi are born in the complex glass technique of incalmo, a technique of combining different colors of glass welded together in such a way as to create a single blown piece with different colors. It should be emphasized, and this confirms the exhibited object, that only some colors can be combined with this technique, as each color has its own characteristics.
