About this seller
Private sellerProduct description
This Mid-Century Modern Murano glass bowl was designed by Flavio Poli for the renowned Italian manufacturer Mandruzzato during the 1950s. The piece exemplifies the sophisticated glassmaking traditions of the era, characterised by its dynamic, pulled-edge silhouette and masterful execution of the sommerso technique.
Crafted entirely from authentic Murano glass, the vessel features a striking interplay of vibrant red encased within a thick layer of transparent glass. The organic, star-like form is achieved through precise manipulation of the molten material, resulting in sweeping curves and elegantly curled tips. Produced in Italy, this design reflects the sculptural approach to decorative arts that defined the post-war period, merging technical prowess with fluid geometry.
The bowl remains in highly commendable condition, preserving the clarity and brilliance of its original finish. The heavy base provides substantial weight and stability, while the smooth, polished surfaces highlight the inherent refractive qualities of the medium. It stands as a well-preserved example of mid-twentieth-century Italian craftsmanship.
This sculptural object serves as a compelling focal point within contemporary or vintage-inspired interiors. It functions elegantly as a standalone centrepiece on a dining table or console, complementing both minimalist and richly textured spaces with its vivid colourway and distinctive profile.
