This vintage Murano glass bowl is a typical example of the "Sommerso" technique, in which layers of red and blue glass are fused together. The bowl is often attributed to designer Flavio Poli for the Seguso Vetri d'Arte glassworks in the 1960s. It is a solid, heavy piece with enchanting layering and vibrant color contrasts. These decorative objects are often used as ashtrays, jewelry dishes, or centerpieces. This refined object is an authentic Murano glass bowl, designed by the renowned Flavio Poli in Italy in the 1960s. The piece illustrates the masterful command of the famous sommerso technique, making it a sought-after collector's item for lovers of Italian design.
Crafted from high-quality Murano glass, this decorative object displays a fascinating interplay of colors and layers. The core of deep red glass is seamlessly enclosed by a clear blue outer layer, creating a striking optical effect and a fluid, organic form. This layered construction is characteristic of the sommerso method, in which different layers of colored glass are blown over one another without the colors mixing. The design reflects the innovative spirit of the Mid-Century Modern period.
The bowl is in excellent vintage condition, with the clarity of the glass and the intensity of the colors fully preserved. The smooth surface and the heavy, solid base attest to the artisanal quality and careful preservation over the years.
This elegant work of art forms a subtle yet powerful accent in a sophisticated interior. The object looks particularly good on a coffee table, sideboard, or in an open display cabinet, where natural light can optimally accentuate the depth of the colors.
