Murano Vase Sommerso Flavio Poli – Green and red – Italy, 1950s-1960s

Rare Murano glass vase attributed to Flavio Poli, a major figure in 20th-century glass design. Made using the Sommerso technique, this vase stands out for its layers of coloured glass, showcasing a stunning contrast between deep green and intense red, forming a wide and solid base that tapers into a droplet-shaped neck. The composition features structured and architectural lines, typical of the most sought-after productions from Murano in the 1950s-1960s. The overall piece offers a strong sculptural presence despite its compact size, enhanced by the optical depth characteristic of the Sommerso technique. This model perfectly illustrates Flavio Poli's aesthetic exploration, blending purity of form, play of transparency, and layering of colours, making it a particularly original and expressive piece. The vase is in very good overall condition, with no notable accidents, and retains all the richness of its colours and original brilliance despite its age.
