Gio Ponti for Venini — “A Canne” Glass Bottle Vase in Blue and Green 1950s

Creator: Gio Ponti
Offered by: 20cdesign

Description
This striking 'A Canne' bottle vase model 972, designed by Gio Ponti and masterfully executed by Venini, exemplifies the refined modernism and technical virtuosity that defined mid‑century Italian glass. Rendered in a luminous palette of blue and green, fused glass canes, the vase showcases Venini’s celebrated cane‑working technique, where meticulously pulled rods of colored glass are arranged with architectural precision to create a rhythmic, linear pattern. Ponti’s design sensibility—clean, elegant, and unmistakably sculptural—elevates the form beyond function, transforming it into a study of proportion and chromatic harmony. Produced during a period when Ponti collaborated closely with the Murano furnace, this piece reflects the designer’s lifelong pursuit of beauty through craftsmanship and innovation. A superb example of Italian design heritage, it stands as both a collectible object and a timeless decorative statement. Signed with acid etched stamp underside.
