A Bloom of Light, Colour and Venetian Craftsmanship
Some vases wait for flowers. Others already feel like a flower themselves. The VENINI Monofiori Balloton Vase Amethyst 16.5 cm belongs firmly to the latter. With its softly rounded silhouette, distinctive Balloton texture and captivating amethyst colour, it resembles a precious gemstone transformed into glass. As the light changes throughout the day, the transparent Murano glass reveals delicate shades of violet and soft pink, creating remarkable depth and luminosity. You could almost describe it as mood lighting – only considerably more elegant.
Measuring 14 cm in diameter and 16.5 cm in height, the vase offers beautifully balanced proportions that suit a wide variety of settings. Whether placed on a sideboard, console table, shelf or dining table, it immediately enriches its surroundings. Its defining feature is the traditional Balloton technique, which creates a refined diamond-pattern texture within the glass. This intricate surface catches and reflects light beautifully, enhancing both the transparency and richness of the colour.
Designed by Paolo Venini, one of the most influential figures in Italian glassmaking, the Monofiori Balloton collection has remained a celebrated design classic since its introduction in 1970. The combination of elegant form, exceptional craftsmanship and vibrant colour ensures that every vase feels both timeless and contemporary.
When Glass Tells Its Own Story
The Balloton technique is one of Murano's most iconic decorative methods. Through a meticulous production process, the glass acquires its distinctive diamond-like texture, creating visual depth and a fascinating play of light. The result is a surface that feels alive, constantly changing with its environment and perspective.
In the Amethyst colourway, this technique becomes particularly expressive. The soft violet hue feels sophisticated, warm and surprisingly modern. It introduces subtle colour into an interior while harmonising beautifully with natural materials such as wood, stone and linen. Whether displaying a single flower, a decorative branch or standing entirely on its own, the vase possesses a quiet confidence that never feels overstated.
A Murano Legacy That Continues to Inspire
For more than a century, VENINI has represented the very best of Murano glassmaking. The historic manufacturer preserves techniques rooted in Venetian traditions dating back to the 13th century while continually reinterpreting them through contemporary design. The result is a collection of objects admired worldwide for their beauty, craftsmanship and innovation.
Today, VENINI is part of the prestigious DAMIANI Group, carrying the values of Made in Italy, beauty and artisanal excellence into a new era. Every Monofiori Balloton vase is mouth-blown and finished entirely by hand. Slight variations in colour, texture and shape are not imperfections but the signature of genuine craftsmanship, ensuring that every piece is truly unique.
For Spaces with Personality
The VENINI Monofiori Balloton Vase Amethyst 16.5 cm is beautiful as a standalone statement piece or combined with other colours and sizes from the Monofiori collection. It pairs particularly well with transparent and opaline glass objects, creating captivating compositions of light and colour.
