This exquisite 1970s modern Sommerso Murano glass vase is a prime example of Flavio Poli’s mastery during his tenure at Seguso Vetri d’Arte, one of the most renowned glassmaking houses on Murano Island, Italy. The vase showcases the Sommerso (Italian for "submerged") technique, a hallmark of Murano craftsmanship, where contrasting layers of glass are encased within one another to create depth, richness, and a striking interplay of color. The vibrant pink hue at the core transitions seamlessly into a layer of amber or clear glass that forms the outermost layer. This layering effect highlights the exceptional skill required to achieve such visual depth and clarity. The coloration is rich yet transparent, allowing light to pass through and illuminate the layers, giving the vase a glowing effect. Its design features organic, flared edges that ripple gently outward, evoking a flower in bloom. This undulating rim adds a dynamic, sculptural quality to the piece, making it equally impressive as a decorative object or functional vase. The walls of the vase are thick, creating a substantial yet refined feel, and the clarity of the glass underscores its high quality. This piece is not only a stunning example of mid-century modern design but also a functional work of art, making it a highly desirable collector’s item for enthusiasts of Murano glass and mid-20th-century decorative arts. The vase it's in perfect conditions.
