Murano glass bottle - Bolle - Tapio Wirkkala for Venini 1960s

Delightful small bottle of Bolle series made of transparent blown glass. The top of the body and the neck are in taupe, while the rest of the body is purple. The Bolle series was created by Venini based on the design by Tapio Wirkkala, a Finnish designer who worked with the Murano factory from 1964 to 1980. This is a very refined object, combining the tradition of Murano glass with the minimalism which characterizes Nordic stylistic sensibility. The vase has the original label and the engraved signature "Venini for BMW" on the bottom, in fact this piece was produced in the 1960s for the well-known car manufactory and used as a representative gift.
