Antique Murano glass vase in the shape of a mine. It is part of the series
Corrosi a bugne, designed by
Carlo Scarpa and made for
Venini, which was exhibited at the 20th
Biennale Internazionale d'Arte in 1936. This vase was made by using black thick glass covered with gold foil, which creates a great chromatic contrast with the dark base. The spherical surface was corroded with acid, as also the applied
bugne. The bottom is engraved "Venini Murano".
