Turquoise Murano Cup with Silver Inclusion Sommerso Barovier & Toso

Superb small sculptural bowl made of solid Murano art glass (1950s-1960s) from the prestigious Barovier & Toso manufacture. This luminous piece illustrates the virtuosity of Venetian workshops, combining a vibrant turquoise blue hue with rich silver inclusions (silver leaf technique or foglia d'argento). Unlike bullicante, the material here presents a spectacular frosted or cracked internal effect, achieved through thermal shock and the bursting of metal leaves during blowing. The whole is encapsulated in a thick layer of clear crystal (sommerso technique), giving an astonishing depth to the decor. The organic silhouette with deeply wavy edges has been shaped entirely hot and freehand (a mano libera). The base features a ground and polished pontil (molato), a signature of high-quality glassmaking. The condition is excellent, the material has retained all its brilliance, with no cracks or chips. Slight micro-scratches from use under the base attest to its age. Dimensions: Height 5.5 cm|Width 13 cm|Weight 538 g. 📦 SHIPPING: Ultra-secure custom packaging. Tracked shipping.
