Murano sommerso vase soliflore 27 cm

This art glass vase, in a "mid-century modern" style, is a stunning example of post-war Italian design. It was designed in the 1950s by Flavio Poli for the renowned Seguso Vetri d'Arte glassworks in Murano. This vase is the result of a masterful execution of the classic "sommerso" technique, showcasing a brilliant core of intense ruby red (rosso rubino) encased in a deep, bright blue (blu), all wrapped in a thick layer of clear, heavy, flawless glass. The base, cut with clean and elegant geometric contours, beautifully interacts with light, creating captivating optical illusions and shifting colour gradients from every angle. With a respectable height of 27.5 cm, this sculptural piece perfectly embodies the refined minimalism and organic elegance that characterised Poli's award-winning work for Seguso. Neck diameter: 1.5 cm. Maximum diameter: 7 cm. Weight: 585 g.
