Product description
This Sommerso Murano glass bowl was crafted by G. Ferro in Italy during the 1950s. The piece exemplifies the mid-century mastery of Venetian glassmaking, characterised by its fluid, organic silhouette and vibrant colourway. Constructed using the traditional Sommerso technique, the bowl features a striking red core encased in clear glass, punctuated by a delicate pattern of controlled bubbles (bullicante). The heavy, sculptural form highlights the refractive qualities of the Murano glass, creating a dynamic interplay of light and colour. The piece reflects the innovative spirit of Italian design from the era. The bowl remains in great condition, preserving its original structural integrity and vibrant finish. The glass retains its clarity and the distinctive bubble inclusions are perfectly suspended within the thick walls. This decorative object serves as a compelling accent piece for both contemporary and vintage-inspired interiors. It functions beautifully as a standalone sculptural element on a console or coffee table, bringing a touch of mid-century Italian elegance to the space.
