Bottiglie Incise by Venini

The Bottiglie Incise collection, created in 1956 by Paolo Venini, represents one of the most elegant interpretations of Murano glass artistry. Conceived as a series of sculptural bottles, each piece combines refined shapes with sophisticated glass-engraving techniques, transforming a functional object into a decorative work of art.

Handcrafted in Murano, Italy, every bottle in the collection is produced using a meticulous process of cold engraving and sandblasting applied to the glass surface. This technique creates a subtle matte texture that is visually uniform while remaining gently etched to the touch, enhancing both the tactile and aesthetic experience of the piece.

The elegant stopper perfectly complements the bottle’s silhouette, completing it with a fluid and harmonious profile. The engraving partially veils the vessel’s imaginary contents, inviting curiosity and drawing the viewer into the mystery of the object—an artistic detail that reflects Paolo Venini’s innovative approach to glass design.

Part of the Paolo Venini Collection, the Bottiglie Incise series explores a variety of shapes and colors, each chosen to highlight the depth and beauty of Murano glass. The result is a decorative piece that blends mid-century Italian design with centuries-old Venetian craftsmanship, making it a distinctive addition to refined interiors or curated glass collections.
