Black Belt is the collection of vases designed by Peter Marino for the Venini brand. In limited editions to 349 works signed by the great international artist.Creativity and ancient craftsmanship of Murano glass generate real works of art all to collect. The vases have an original and unique design inspired by four basic shapes: oval, square, triangle and eight. The shades chosen by Peter Marino are pink, green and tea, with bands in black applied hot on the surface that surround the vases in linear decorations. On a generally transparent central body, colored threads called "Fasce" are poured hot. Then they are amalgamated to the central body and covered with a thin layer of crystal, thus obtaining an irregular and striking color design. The decorative technique "Sommerso" allows to obtain in a same blown or solid glass several overlapping layers of different colors with an evocative color effect. It is obtained by immersing the glass attached to the barrel in crucibles containing glasses of different colors. Sometimes to increase the decorative effect between the layers of glass we find inclusions of gold leaf or other metals or bubbles of air.
