This ruby Murano centerpiece bowl, crafted in the 1960s using the sommerso technique, is an example of refined Italian mid-century design. The piece features an organic, free-form silhouette with elongated, asymmetrical wings and smoothly flowing transitions. A thick, transparent layer of glass encases a saturated ruby-red core, creating a multilayered visual effect and striking color contrast. The surface of the glass is uniformly smooth, highly transparent, and lustrous, subtly reflecting light. The hand-blown nature is revealed in minute variations of thickness and gently undulating edges. Equally functional and decorative, it can serve as a vessel for jewelry, small objects, or sweets. Preserved in original condition, it may display minor, superficial scratches from use, but no chips or cracks.This bowl reflects the voice of Italian modernism and the heritage of Murano glass: the vibrant ruby appears to glow from within as if capturing sunlight in solid form, while the organic lines resemble opening petals or gentle lagoon waves. Each subtle curve echoes the centuries-old Venetian tradition—meticulously shaped by masters who enclosed movement and color within glass. When placed on a table, this piece evokes the radiance of southern Italy and speaks of artistry that merges form and function.
