9” tall no chips or cracks. The "a canne" (reeded) glass technique involves creating parallel ribs or canes within the glass itself, often achieved by rolling molten glass over rods or by using molds. This technique was popularized by Italian glass manufacturers, most notably Venini, in the mid-20th century, often in collaboration with renowned designers like Gio Ponti. These pieces are celebrated for their sophisticated design and the interplay of light and color created by the ribbed structure and opalescent effects. Venini, founded in 1921 on the island of Murano, Italy, became synonymous with high-quality, artistic glass production. Their collaborations with designers like Gio Ponti resulted in iconic pieces that are highly sought after by collectors. The "corseted" or "waisted" form, combined with the "a canne" technique and opalescent finishes, is a hallmark of Venini's output during the mid-century period, representing a peak in modernist glass design.
