About the workIt is a “mostly decorative item”, according to the Milanese fashion brand Sunnei. It has a range of erotic toys in its programme that have been refined through collaboration with a glassworks in Murano. The theme has a long tradition on the island near Venice: the writer Pietro Aretino devoted a significant section to it in satirical dialogues from 1534. This object also has bizarre features: the phallus, a replica of a stiff male member, is also a cactus.
