Fazzoletto. This is the name given to the handkerchief vases designed by Fulvio Bianconi in the 1950's at Venini. The top of the vases are ragged as though the corners of a handkerchief have been pulled upwards. They are hand made and can be striped, or have reticello (glass cane) effects or be simply one colour on the inside and a different colour on the outside. They require a lot of skill to produce and are very fine. They have a smooth flat base. (They are very different to the 'rigid' handkerchief vases produced by Chance).
They are handmade and decorated in stripes, reticello (glass cane) effects or contrasting interior and exterior colours. An inordinate amount of skill goes into producing these extraordinary objects d’art whose ruffled edges resemble the upturned corners of a handkerchief. Here’s a design that’s widely copied but rarely as good as the original.
