Vase XXL - Ouraline - Murano Sommerso - Flavio Poli - 40cm

This exceptional sculptural vase in Murano crystal (Italy, 1950-1960) is a true masterpiece of Venetian elegance by the master Flavio Poli for the Seguso factory. Technique, Colours & Quality. The master glassmaker created a vibrant core: a gradient of intense orange at the base evolving into a deep ruby red at the neck. This incandescent core is encapsulated in a layer of electric yellow, then suspended in a thick shell of perfectly clear transparent crystal, shaped in an organic form. The craftsmanship of this multi-layered Sommerso is exceptional: ultra-sharp transitions, mirror-like brilliance, and a ground and polished pontil. Dimensions & Weight. A massive and imposing piece: Exceptional height: 40 cm. Maximum width: 19 cm. Width at the neck: 13 cm. Exact weight: 2.962 kg. Rarity: The Magic of Ouraline. The electric yellow layer is enriched with uranium oxide (Uranium Glass). Under UV light, the piece reveals a spectacular fluorescent green glow, a rarity for a piece of this size highly sought after by collectors, ensuring its authenticity from the period. Condition. Museum quality. Perfect condition, no defects. Minute signs of use under the base attest to its age. Shipping.
