Murano Sommerso Ashtray Bowl

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 two-tone mass within a clear envelope. Its deep cobalt blue heart, surrounded by an intense turquoise 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 to 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: 14 X 14 X 6 cm high.
