A Venini fazzoletto or 'handkerchief vase' (shown rather smaller than life-sized, from various angles) in pink and white Zanfirico glass, probably designed by Fulvio Bianconi. The pontil and the basal rim are ground flat and polished in the normal manner (see detail at top, right). The base is acid-etched 'venini, murano', although the mark is very hard to see (easiest when held at an angle directly under an electric light)

We think this heavy decanter (shown roughly life-sized at left) may be a product of the Holmegaard glassworks in Denmark, but we are not 100% sure. The body is cased a deep amethyst over opaque white glass (just visible on the end of the stopper at centre, right), and Holmegaard certainly produced many pieces in the 1960s cased with a colour over white in this manner
