Pair Venini ‘Reticello’ table lamps

A pair of Venini table lamps with a brass base. The sphere is made of Murano glass in Reticello technique.
When the threads are interwoven the technique is called reticello or double filigree. To obtain the reticello filigree, two cylinders with opposite spirals are blown and appropriately opened, and then inserted one inside the other, welding the walls together. In this way a characteristic diamond design is achieved, with a tiny bubble of air trapped at the centre of the lozenges.
