Sommerso Ashtray in Murano Glass

This masterpiece of glass art illustrates the virtuosity of Italian master craftsmen. It showcases the emblematic Sommerso technique, a complex process of layering molten glass to encase a vibrant colored mass within a clear envelope. Its amber hue captures light with a unique intensity, characteristic of creations from this period. The beveled geometric lines of its base contrast with the softness of its bowl. An exceptional piece with thick, heavy walls, ideal as a sculptural catch-all or refined centerpiece. An authentic witness of art glass. • Manufacturer: Seguso Vetri d'Arte (Venice, Italy) • Designer: Flavio Poli. • Era: 1960s. • Style: Mid-Century / Italian Art Glass. • Condition: Excellent vintage condition. • Dimensions: 13 X 8.5 X 4.5 cm high.
