Exceptional small free-form soliflore vase in Murano (Italy) hand-blown glass, attributed to the renowned designer Flavio Poli for the Seguso Vetri d'Arte factory.
This Modernist period piece (circa 1960) exemplifies the absolute mastery of the "Sommerso" (immersed glass) technique.
It displays a magnificent chromatic harmony: a suspended heart in intense amethyst tones is captured within a transparent cobalt blue envelope, all encased in a thick layer of clear crystal.
The asymmetrical neck, masterfully pinched and stretched while hot by the glassmaker, offers spectacular refractions of light.
The glass reveals subtle micro-bubbles of original air, unmistakable hallmarks of exquisite hand-blown craftsmanship. A highly refined collector's item, ideal for a high-end decorative collection.
