Murano Cup - Sommerso - XL 50cm - Amethyst and Turquoise

Exceptional piece of Murano art glass (Italy) from the 1960s, made using the complex "Sommerso" technique (submerged glass). This spectacular centrepiece, with an organic shape and four elongated branches, features refined chromatic work: an electric turquoise heart enveloped in deep amethyst purple, all captured in a thick mass of colourless crystal. The refraction of light on the edges highlights the vibrant contrast between the colours. Highlights: • Unusual dimensions: At 50 cm in length, this piece has a rare sculptural presence, ideal for a Mid-Century Modern or contemporary interior. • Organic "Starfish" design: Its four hand-stretched branches evoke marine shapes, emblematic of Flavio Poli's work. • Quality craftsmanship: Base perfectly ground and polished flat, a sign of high-quality artisanal work (type Seguso / Flavio Poli). • Condition: Excellent vintage condition, the crystal has retained all its original transparency and brilliance. Normal signs of use under the base confirming its authenticity. No chips. Dimensions: • Length: 50 cm. • Width: 30 cm. • Height: 15 cm. • Weight: 1.57 kg. An iconic collector's piece, perfect as a centrepiece on a sideboard or dining table. Extremely careful shipping with double packaging, bubble wrap, and reinforced protections.
