Opalino 706.22 Sandblasted Vase Crystal/Gold Leaf

Opalino 706.22 sandblasted gold leaf crystal is a unique version of the vase designed by Paolo Venini, produced by the Venini brand. Sandblasted silk-like surface coat embellished with grains of gold.Born from the extraordinary mind of Paolo Venini, the Opalino vase saw the light of day in 1932. Opalino is obtained by working lattimo, a white opaline glass created in Murano around the middle of the 15th century to imitate the first porcelains then very fashionable in Europe, by combining and "encasing" the lattimo glass with one or more thin transparent and colored glasses, resulting in splendid objects with brilliant and intense colors. The unique processing of the sandblasted vase with gold leaf inserts makes the vases in the Venini collection one of a kind, exclusively collectible.model 706.22 in sandblasted gold leaf crystal finish
