Fulvio Bianconi Incamiciato Fazzoletto vase, model 4216
Venini & C. Italy, ca. 1950 Yellow and opalescent white cased glass handkerchief vase 7" h, 8" w (18, 20.5 cm)
The Fazzoletto vase, ubiquitous in the field of Murano glass collecting, has been loved and cherished for decades. Fulvio Bianconi's interpretation offered it in a variety of glass decors and colors to satisfy the post-war modern aesthetic. No glass collection is complete without one. This example is executed in bright yellow glass cased with opalescent white and this particular pairing is seldom seen.
Excellent condition.
