Coccio by Venini

The Venini Coccio Vase is a remarkable decorative object that celebrates the artistic innovation of Murano glassmaking. Introduced in 1984, this unique design reflects Venini’s commitment to transforming traditional techniques into contemporary works of art.

The vase takes inspiration from ancient shards of pottery discovered in historical dwellings, evoking the sense of an archaeological treasure reimagined through modern glass artistry. Its surface is decorated with an intricate murrine pattern, creating a graphic composition that enhances the vase’s sculptural form and highlights the exceptional skill of Venini’s master glassmakers.

Handcrafted in Murano, the Coccio vase is produced using a combination of free-hand glassblowing, murrine glasswork, and traditional Murano techniques. These processes create a textured visual effect that resembles fragments or “cocci,” giving the piece its distinctive name and character.

With its elegant proportions and artistic pattern, the Coccio vase functions both as a decorative centerpiece and as a collectible design object. Whether displayed alone or used to hold floral arrangements, it brings depth, craftsmanship, and Italian design heritage into any interior space.
