Bottiglie Incise by Venini

The Bottiglie Incise bottle is part of a celebrated collection designed in 1956 by Paolo Venini, one of the most influential figures in modern Murano glass design. Created as a series of sculptural bottles, the collection transforms a functional object into an artistic statement through refined craftsmanship and elegant proportions.

Handmade on the island of Murano by skilled artisans of Venini, each bottle embodies the brand’s philosophy of combining centuries-old Venetian glassmaking techniques with modern artistic vision.

The Incision Technique

The defining characteristic of the Bottiglie Incise collection is its sophisticated surface treatment. Each piece undergoes a meticulous process of cold engraving and sandblasting, producing a refined matte texture that is visually uniform yet delicately etched to the touch.

This subtle engraving enhances the depth of the glass color while creating a tactile quality that invites interaction, transforming the bottle into a sculptural object that captures both light and curiosity.

Sculptural Design and Color

The bottle’s elegant silhouette is completed with a perfectly balanced stopper that continues the form in a fluid, uninterrupted line. The surface engraving partially conceals the vessel’s imaginary contents, adding a mysterious dimension to the piece and encouraging the viewer to explore the object more closely.

In this version, the bottle is presented in a striking Carnelian Orange tone—one of the distinctive colors selected for the Bottiglie Incise series—bringing warmth and vibrancy to the sculptural form.

Handmade in Murano

Every Bottiglie Incise bottle is individually crafted by Murano glass masters, making each piece unique. The combination of artistic design, traditional techniques, and exceptional materials results in a decorative object that represents the enduring legacy of Venini’s glassmaking excellence.

Perfect as a collector’s piece or a refined accent in contemporary interiors, the Bottiglie Incise bottle celebrates the timeless beauty of Italian design.
