Murano glass vase submerged, attributed to Flavio Poli for Seguso Vetri d'Arte, Italy.

A remarkable decorative vase made of thick and heavy Murano glass, created using the iconic Sommerso technique. Developed in the 1930s by Antonio Da Ros and internationally popularised in the 1950s through the work of Flavio Poli, artistic director of Seguso Vetri d’Arte, this technique is characterised by multiple layers of coloured glass encased in clear crystal. Dating from the 1960s, this elegant piece features a carafe shape with fluid and sensual lines, and a colour composition of great harmony. Layers of deep blue, soft green, and smoky grey glass are encased in clear crystal, while a bright orange rim provides a striking contrast and visual harmony. As is often the case with Murano glass pieces from this period, the absence of a label or signature does not allow for formal attribution. - In the style of: Flavio Poli for Seguso Vetri d'Arte Origin: Italy Design period: 1960s Materials: glass Colours: clear, blue, green, grey, orange Dimensions: H 18 x W 22 x D 12 cm
