The “Pezzato” technique is one of the most iconic and successful series, developed by Fulvio Bianconi and Venini in the early 1950s. The technique was first presented at the Venice Biennale in 1951 and was used in a series of vases and bowls with different colour combinations. Each combination had its own name, such as “Parigi”, “Stoccolma”, “Asia”, “Istanbul”, “Americano” and “Arlecchino”. This present model is the largest in the series.
