The Ichendorf Venezia Ottico bottle with lid brings together clarity, rhythm and the precise aesthetic signature of Corrado Dotti. Part of the Ichendorf Bottle family, it stands out for its textured optical surface, where light is gently refracted along vertical grooves. This interplay of transparency and movement gives the bottle a sculptural presence, making it not just a container but a refined element of the table or kitchen. When paired with minimalist pieces from the Ichendorf selection, it completes compositions defined by elegance and quiet modernity.
A handmade bottle shaped by light
Crafted in handmade and lampworked borosilicate glass, the Venezia Ottico bottle reflects a disciplined craftsmanship. The optical pattern is created through patient flame-working, carving out subtle reliefs that catch and diffuse illumination. These grooves give the bottle an architectural quality while maintaining a smooth, pleasant touch. Borosilicate glass ensures the piece remains lightweight yet resilient, suitable for everyday use. Dishwasher safe at low temperatures, it retains its brilliance, while small variations in pattern reveal the human hand behind each object.
A refined accessory for serving and décor
The presence of a fitted lid enhances the bottle’s versatility: it becomes ideal for serving water, juices or chilled infusions while also functioning as a decorative object when not in use. Its optical silhouette adds depth even when empty, making it a natural element to display on open shelves or beside ceramics and glassware. This combination of function and sculptural appeal is characteristic of Corrado Dotti creation, where everyday objects are refined into harmonious, contemporary forms. Whether placed on a dining table, a kitchen counter or a living-room tray, the bottle brings a sense of clarity and discreet sophistication.
Its transparency allows it to coordinate effortlessly with Ichendorf tumblers, Ichendorf stemmed glasses or Ichendorf jugs from the Ichendorf universe. When combined with simpler elements, the vertical pattern becomes a visual focal point; when matched with richly textured pieces, it blends into a rhythm of layered reflections. This adaptability makes it suitable for those who appreciate italian modern glassware designed with a subtle interplay between light and structure.
An elegant balance of function and expression
Despite its decorative nature, the bottle remains practical and comfortable to use. The gently curved neck ensures smooth pouring, while the lid offers protection for stored beverages. The handmade nature of the borosilicate glass gives each piece a slight individuality, reinforcing its artisanal charm. For those seeking a thoughtful design object, this designer glass bottle embodies a refined balance of beauty, craftsmanship and utility.
