Faceted diamond caviar bowl Mandruzzato Sommerso, Murano glass, Italy, 1960s

A magnificent Murano glass art bowl from the 1960s, hand-blown in the Luigi Mandruzzato furnace (Molatura Vetri Murano). Crafted using the sommerso technique — developed and perfected in Murano and famous thanks to designer Flavio Poli — this faceted, hexagonal, diamond-shaped piece in three tones features polished sides and a top, revealing a stunning combination of layers of light blue, amber yellow, and deep cobalt glass that beautifully capture and reflect light. A decorative object resembling a jewel, it could also serve as a bowl for caviar. The bowl is in very good condition, with no damage; the small spots visible in the photos are tiny bubbles in the glass.
