Prototype for a “Bolle d’aria” vase, designed by Miroslav Hratska *
for Venini, Murano, c. 1968, two-layered glass featuring large spiky air bubbles, height 16 cm. (DRAX)
With a certificate issued by Venini.
No second version of this model is known to date, so that it can be assumed that this vase remained a unique item due to the highly demanding production process involved. Bubbles in this size pose a special challenge to the glass blowers. They are created by the hot glass blown and flashing in a sting shape.
