Gio Ponti 'Sette colori' Murano beaker for Venini circa 1948

Marc Heiremans shows a vase in this design - the same colour canes in the same order - in Murano Glass: Themes and Variations 1910-1970. He says of it:

The innovative aspect of this vase - a simple "a canne" - is to be found in the bold application of colour, to become typical for post-war Murano glass. After the fusing of the canes, the form was not further blown but shaped with tools.
