Vintage Venini Murano Fulvio Bianconi Double Incalmo Blown Glass Vase
By Venini, Fulvio Bianconi
Located in Uccle, BE
Among the many designs and different techniques he experimented within his collaboration with Venini, Fulvio Bianconi used the "A incalmo" technique which requires great mastery from the glassblowers.
This is an "a doppio incalmo" vase which simply means a double incalmo.
Cylindrical vase, composed of three distinct colors. The base in black glass, the middle part in red glass and the upper part in blue glass.
The vases were obtained by merging several "rings" of molten glass.
Designed in 1951, the vase is in very good condition. It was produced in the 1950s and bears the acid seal "venini murano italia".
The vase is published in many books, and is sometimes misattributed to Thomas Stearns who will be inspired by these forms and these particular techniques developed by Fulvio Bianconi, Paolo Venini and also Ricardo Licata...

Venini Murano Fulvio Bianconi Tiepolo Head Figurine
By Fulvio Bianconi
Located in Uccle, BE
The Commedia dell’arte figurines are one of Fulvio Bianconi's most characteristic productions for Venini.
Their creation can be dated around 1947-1948. The series, which originally consisted of twelve models, was exhibited at the 24th Venice Biennale in 1948.
It is important to see this series of figurines as a cartoonish reinterpretation of the figurines that were very popular on the island of Murano in the 1930s.
We recognize here the ironic touch of the work of Fulvio Bianconi who an illustrator was.
Fulvio Bianconi uses here for each figurine a different costume and mask, the base is always made of lattimo glass decorated for polychrome glass costumes.
Attitudes are also different for each character.
We rarely find the heads of these figurines which were rare productions and out of catalog.
Charming objects blown by masters outside the “regular” production.
We present here the head of Giangurgolo, a figurine which bore the reference 2900 in the Venini catalog.
The basic material of the lattimo glass head, the pink eyes...
