Carnevale glass cup

Carnevale glass cup by Venini

Like the icons that inspired them, these pieces are made using the Balloton technique. Every Coppetta Carnevale is a small handcrafted creation; glass is blown using traditional metal molds, creating a unique crossed relief optical effect on its surface. Colourful and lively, it is always ready to party.
The most joyful, cheerful and colourful event in Venice is reinterpreted by VENINI with the shapes and colours of the Carnevale collection.

SOFFIATO (BLOWN) - This technique takes its name from the action performed by the craftsmen when they blow air into a long metal cane attached to a piece of glass in order to expand and shape it into various shapes. This glassmaking tradition has remained unchanged for more than a thousand years. Thanks to this ancient technique and to the experience and manual skill of the master glassmakers, a simple piece of glass is transformed into artistic masterpieces that are truly one of a kind.

BALLOTON - For this technique, the master glassmaker uses a special metal mould which has small pyramid-shaped tips with a square base all along the interior surface of its circumference. During the blowing process, the glass entirely fills the empty spaces in the mould and creates a particular optical effect of crossed relief.
