FISCHIONE –\u00a0This large migratory bird breeds in the northernmost areas of Europe and Spain and winters in Italy, choosing the Fornace (Kiln) as the perfect spot to spend the colder months.<\/p>\n
TECHNIQUE BATTUTO –\u00a0This is the cold-crafting technique that most challenges the skill and delicacy of the master glassmaker. The distinctive characteristic of Beaten glass is that its surface is \u201csculpted\u201d by hand with a grinding wheel. This creates countless small and apparently irregular marks on the glass surface.<\/p>\n
TONI ZUCCHERI –\u00a0The son of the animalist painter Luigi Zuccheri, Toni inherited his father\u2019s passion for animals, which are recurrent subjects in his creations. Toni Zuccheri attended the faculty of architecture in Venice under the guidance of Gardella, Albini, Scarpa and Samon\u00e0. He started to collaborate with VENINI in the 1960s: his first glassworks are, according to the family tradition, animals made in multi-coloured glass with precious techniques like the \u201cmurrine\u201d technique. In 1965, he started to collaborate with Gio Ponti, with whom he designed a new system of glass windows, called \u201cVetrate Grosse\u201d. Following this, he expanded his glass production with new colours and subjects and participated in various exhibitions worldwide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
\u201cThe male has darker feathers, while the female features bright accents of colour, but they both have a skilfully ground black head. The two wigeon specimens designed by Toni Zuccheri don\u2019t mind people looking at them. They rest peacefully, waiting for attention.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":273702,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[49522],"product_cat":[7777],"product_tag":[44111,44112,44114,49088],"giftcard-category":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-273703","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_brand-venini-en","7":"product_cat-oggettistica-rarita-en","8":"product_tag-fischione-en-3","9":"product_tag-toni-zuccheri-en-3","10":"product_tag-410-06-en-3","11":"product_tag-venini-en-336","12":"pa_brand-venini-en","14":"first","15":"instock","16":"taxable","17":"shipping-taxable","18":"purchasable","19":"product-type-simple","20":"add-to-wishlist-after_add_to_cart","22":"catalog-layout-default","23":"columns-xs-2"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
