The Mandruzatto centerpiece, crafted in Murano circa 1950, epitomizes Italian glass artistry at a pivotal moment of technical and creative evolution. Made from cased crystal glass, it employs the layered 'sun technique' (tecnica solare) pioneered by Flavio Poli. The bowl's organic form features four elongated, upward-curving arms ending in delicate scrolls, while the color transitions from deep amethyst violet to smoky brown, accented by subtle hints of blue and yellow at the base. The glass is highly translucent with a lustrous, polished finish; the underside reveals hand-cut facets and a refined, polished pontil, attesting to meticulous craftsmanship. The piece has been preserved in excellent collector’s condition, free from chips, cracks, or signs of wear. This bowl channels the spirit of postwar Italian modernism, where artistic boldness and technical mastery converged. Its dynamic contours evoke the sculptural explorations of the 1950s, with the vessel seeming almost in motion—catching and refracting light and color from every angle. The layered hues, embedded within the glass, echo Venetian tradition while speaking to the era’s avant-garde ambitions—as if the centerpiece captures a fragment of Mediterranean sunlight within its core.
