Vintage 1984 Modernist Black Murano Glass Vide Poche by Venini A sophisticated and timeless piece of Italian design, this vintage "vide poche" or catch-all tray was crafted by the prestigious Venini glassworks on the island of Murano in 1984. Venini is celebrated for its masterful artistry and innovative collaborations with leading designers, and this piece embodies the company's commitment to modern and elegant forms. The tray's modernist, triangular shape features a sleek, ribbed design that creates a captivating play of light and shadow on its polished black surface. The glass is incredibly thick and heavy, a testament to the high quality of Murano glassmaking. This functional yet beautiful object is perfect for holding keys, coins, or other small items on a console table or desk, or it can be displayed as a striking piece of sculptural art on its own. The authenticity of this piece is confirmed by the etched signature on the bottom: "venini italia 84," indicating its origin and year of production. This is a rare find for collectors of fine Murano glass and a beautiful accent for any modern or contemporary interior.
