Pair of Murano Sommerso Multilayer Vases - Gallery Condition - Flávio Poli

This exceptional pair of vases is a masterful testament to the technical virtuosity of the glass masters of Murano from the 1960s/70s, fitting into the iconic creations of Flavio Poli for Seguso Vetri d'Arte. A High Level of Technical Complexity. Well beyond the classic Sommerso, these pieces utilise the rare technique of multi-layered Sommerso. The process requires absolute mastery of thermal expansion coefficients: an "abyssal" cobalt core is fused in a second bath of "sapphire" blue, before being encapsulated in a thick layer of pure crystal. The millimetre-perfect management of temperatures ensures chromatic delineations of surgical sharpness, creating a three-dimensional effect where the colour appears to float in weightlessness. Condition & Quality. Presented in impeccable gallery-level condition (no chips, no cracks), these "massello" glass objects possess remarkable density and brilliance. Technical Characteristics: • Vase 1: Height 21cm|Width 14cm|Depth 7cm|Weight: 2.0 kg. • Vase 2: Height 21cm|Width 13cm|Depth 7cm|Weight: 1.9 kg. Premium Shipping. For these massive and precious pieces, the packaging will be done with extreme care: double boxing, professional high-density cushioning, and reinforced protection to ensure perfect delivery.
