Check out this page:

http://www.jetsetmodern.com/greatglass1.htm

its a article on Venini with examples of their Pezatto vases. Don't forget that many other companies have also made similar vases, due to Venini's success.
do they have labels or signature or etched with the classic Venini 3 line signature?

Thanks for tweaking my memory about why the patchwork looked familiar. Bianconi was also well-known for pezzato. Do you think the vase looks like pezzato? I am not sure. The edges of the pieces look smooth in bonitao's picture, like they are thinly cased... not sure. I wouldn't be surprised if it is Venini. It looks like some of their more lively work. To me, Venini goes to the extremes. Some of the work of his artisans are very plain, while others are playful.

Barovier did some pieces that had a patchwork look to them, but the only works I've seen are earth colors. I've looked through my Pina books for some of bonitao examples. Maybe I should look through my Murano Magic to see if I can come up with anything.

I ran across some pieces done by Fuga for AVEM that looked a bit like the unknown work we were talking about. They are a canne. I have looked at this site so many times, but never can remember all that I see there. The link to these two AVEM pieces is:

The pieces differ in having the center "insert," but the smoothness seems similar to bonitao's picture.

Hi; Your "Buzzi" vase does not look like his style to me. Not his typical shape or glass treatment. I couldn't say what it is but if you want to be most sure of Venini items, get hold of the Venini Catalogue Raisonne 1921-1986 published by Skira.

Hi; Alas, it is definitely not a Buzzi. Buzzi pieces (and all Venini) are very finely finished. The base on your piece is not what Venini would do. Notice that Buzzi usually trimmed his thin glass vases in opaque white glass. Also, most of his pieces had the gold leaf throughout. Never with clear glass in the way yours is done. Oh well, if you like the piece it should not matter.

I appreciated a lot your interest, but i belive you must be less sure about venini pieces.
Not all venini pieces are so " well executed as you belive ".
Would you see ??
Look this my vases ( indubitable Venini signed e desiner Gio Ponti 1950) second attribuited to Fulvio Bianconi for Venini.
I dont think the bottoms are so well executed as you tell.

About Buzzi: he worked not only for Venini he desined also for other glass maker and not all famous.

Thanks anyway

Going back to the unknown -- I had spoken earlier about the smoothness of the pieces and how different they were from some of the pezzato works. Today I noticed a couple that Barovier & Toso did that were very smooth. This eliminates my idea that pezzato looks rough like uncased mosaic. I guess that one has to have the piece in hand or know how it was made.

Maybe someone knows -- are pezzato pieces considered a form of a canne? I know there are overlaps. I wonder if the AVEM pieces I linked to earlier are also pezzato. Whatever they are, they are gorgeous, as is the unknown piece that was originally posted. I would be proud to display it.
