Sommerso Vase In Murano Glass, Italy, Circa 1960-1970
Murano glass sommerso vase made using the traditional technique of layering molten glass, requiring perfect mastery of hot working.
This method allows for a particularly remarkable depth of material and optical density, hallmarks of the great Murano productions of the 20th century.
The smoky amethyst hue, embedded in a thick mass of clear glass, creates a subtle interplay of transparency and depth.
The decoration is highlighted by architectural faceting with taut, clean lines, giving the piece a strong sculptural presence.
This vase belongs to the great tradition of formal research conducted in Murano during the 1960s and 70s, a period during which glass was considered a true material of architecture and sculpture, beyond its purely decorative function.
Perfect condition. No chips or cracks.
