Fazzoletto is one of the most iconic expressions of Venetian glass artistry, a vase that dances between sculpture and poetry. Designed by Fulvio Bianconi, this piece is modeled on the whimsical image of a gentle breeze sweeping through the island of Murano, playfully lifting the colorful skirts of women as they stroll by.

Each Fazzoletto vase is hand-blown using traditional Murano techniques, and no two are ever alike. This particular version features delicate pink and white vertical stripes that ripple through the glass like soft pleats of fabric, enhancing the illusion of movement and weightlessness. Its fluid, undulating rim mimics the folds of a handkerchief caught mid-air — hence the name Fazzoletto, which means “handkerchief” in Italian.

The craftsmanship is extraordinary: the colors are encased in crystal-clear glass, with subtle crosshatch textures adding dimension and elegance. Light filters through the piece in soft waves, highlighting its airy silhouette and adding a layer of enchantment to any space it occupies.

Fazzoletto is a celebration of Murano’s history, femininity, and the delicate balance between control and spontaneity in glassblowing. A timeless treasure for collectors, art lovers, and anyone drawn to the romance of Italian design.
