This vase was named after the Italian painter Paolo Caliari, known as Veronese. It was inspired by his painting of The Annunciation now in the Accademia, Venice. The design was for many years the symbol of the Venini glassworks in Venice. It was first shown at the Autumn Salon, Paris, 1922, and is still being made today. When this vase was presented to the V&A in 1971, the donor suggested that it was an 'early' version of the design.
