About the Item

This striking vase was handmade on the island of Murano, near Venice – the cradle of one of the most famous glassmaking centers in the world. The famous sommerso method, or “immersed glass,” was used, which involves layering different colors of glass in a transparent mass. The vase has a faceted, geometric shape that emphasizes the play of light and makes the vessel resemble a glass sculpture. The interior is made of green glass, surrounded by a wide band of honey amber, all enclosed in a massive, transparent block. The contrast of colors and their depth are the essence of the Murano style of the 1960s/1970s. The vase was made in one of the renowned Murano glass factories that specialized in faceted sommerso forms, such as Mandruzzato, Bucella Cristalli, Campanella, Oball, and V. Nason. The faceted edges act as a prism, splitting the light and enhancing the play of colors, making each piece unique. Sommerso vases from Murano are among the most collectible pieces of 20th-century art glass. This piece delights with its perfect combination of colors, sculptural form, and masterful craftsmanship, which has distinguished Murano glass for centuries. It is not only a decorative accent, but also a unique work of applied art.
