Is the acid stamp the 3 line Venini, Murano, Italia one?
If so looks like either a Bianconi or possibly an early Tapio Wirkala piece.
If the mark is not that one any chance of a picture of it.

This is not a piece by Bianconi.
I have a few books with similar vases, and it was made by Thomas Stearns for Venini, 60s.

excellent find!
I dont think it matters, as the piece is signed Venini, and the only 1 making the style was him.
(as far as the books go)
