Magnificent vintage art glass vase made using the famous Italian Sommerso technique (submerged glass), originating from Murano. This iconic model from the 1950s/1960s features a core of intense mandarin orange/coral color, suspended and encapsulated in a thick layer of hot thermo-welded crystal glass. The work offers superb plays of light and transparency. Characteristics and manufacturing details: • Shape: Organic, oval with a flared collar perfectly finished and smooth. • Technique: Handcrafted Sommerso. The glass is of absolute purity, perfectly clear and completely free of air bubbles, showcasing the craftsmanship of a master glassmaker (work attributed to the famous Seguso Vetri d’Arte or Salviati). • Base: Perfectly ground and polished flat, characteristic of authentic Murano productions. • Dimensions: Height of 12 cm. A compact and elegant size, highly sought after. • Weight: 961 grams. An object of exceptional density and heaviness for its size, proof of high-quality casting in the mass. Condition: Superb vintage condition. No chips, no nicks on the collar (the rim is impeccable) or on the base. Brilliant glass, not opaque. An ideal showcase piece for lovers of Mid-Century Modern design and Italian art glass. Careful and secure shipping guaranteed.
