ABOUT PRODUCTID 2010
The Mandruzatto centerpiece bowl from Murano, circa 1950, is a distinguished example of mid-century Italian glass artistry. Crafted from layered, colored crystal glass in a deep, amber-brown hue, the bowl reveals a dynamic, sculptural silhouette with upward-spiraling, organic lines emblematic of mid-century modern style. The 'sommerso' (submerged) technique, attributed to Flavio Poli, creates a striking interplay of transparent and colored layers, enhanced by a glossy, mirror-like finish. Its substantial, clear base provides both stability and visual lightness. The original Murano label remains intact, confirming its authenticity and origin from the Mandruzatto furnace. The piece is preserved in very good condition, with no visible damage or signs of wear. This vessel echoes the spirit of the 1950s, a period when Italian glassmakers pushed the boundaries of color, light, and form, transcending traditional craft. The spiral movement of the glass appears to capture energy within its refined body, while the interplay of light across transparent and tinted strata creates shifting reflections. This object tells the story of a time when the imagination of designers met the precision of artisans—allowing each sunbeam to pause within its amber core. The bowl would serve as a striking centerpiece on a console, sideboard, or low table in a living space. It may be paired with other Murano glass objects or minimalist ceramics, accentuating its
