Product information "Vase Rio Green 16.5 cm"
A quiet echo of the Venetian lagoon
Some objects don’t ask for attention – they simply change the atmosphere around them. The Rio Green vase by VENINI is one of those pieces. With its softly rounded silhouette, a diameter of 14 cm and a height of 16.5 cm, it feels balanced and calm. The subtle green tone recalls the stillness of lagoon water, while the iconic Balloton texture gives the mouth-blown Murano glass a lively, almost tactile surface. Designed by Paolo Venini and first introduced in 1970, this vase combines transparency, gloss and craftsmanship into an object that works beautifully both as a flower vase and as a decorative statement. Each piece carries slight variations – a quiet reminder that it has been shaped by hand.
A texture that plays with light
The Balloton technique is one of the defining elements of Venetian glass art. Created using a metal mould during the blowing process, it forms a subtle diamond pattern that gently refracts light and adds depth to the surface. Combined with the transparent, glossy finish, it creates a soft interplay of reflections that shifts throughout the day. Whether styled with a few stems, loose greenery or left on its own, this vase brings a calm, almost meditative presence into a space.
Craft rooted in history, shaped for today
VENINI has long stood for the balance between traditional craftsmanship and contemporary design. Its origins trace back to the rich Venetian glassmaking heritage of the 13th century, yet its creations remain unmistakably modern. Now part of the DAMIANI Group, the brand continues to represent the values of Made in Italy, refined savoir-faire and artistic innovation. The Monofiori Balloton collection embodies this philosophy – classic in technique, clear in form, timeless in appeal.
Sometimes one piece is enough
The Rio Green vase integrates effortlessly into different interiors – alongside other glass objects, natural materials or as a subtle contrast in minimal settings. Available in various colours and sizes, it reveals its full character when combined – or simply on its own. For those who appreciate quiet details that make a space feel complete.
