The Clessidra hourglass combines two distinct colours in a sculptural form originally designed by Paolo Venini in 1957. Handmade from Murano glass, it features two separately blown sections — grey and red — fused together using the incalmo technique, a meticulous Venetian glassblowing method that joins molten glass pieces at matching diameters. The dual-tone construction results in a clean, seamless join between the contrasting halves. This piece is part of a limited edition of 199 art pieces per colourway.
