A “Lattimo velato” vase, designed by Carlo Scarpa
for Venini, Murano, c. 1935, “lattimo” glass and “velato” finely incised with the needle, three-line acid-etched factory mark: venini murano ITALIA, height 13 cm. (DRAX)
“Lattimo velato” glass items are among the rarest examples of Venini’s art of glassmaking. It appears to be as fragile as porcelain and associates Venetian glass with the idea of Asian porcelain.
