ABOUT PRODUCTID 12710
This Murano centerpiece bowl, crafted using the Sommerso technique by Flavio Poli in the 1950s, exemplifies Italian decorative glassware in the mid-century modern spirit. The organic, undulating rim in deep amber-red transitions gently towards a honey-gold center – an effect achieved through the characteristic Murano method of layered coloring. The glass is thick and hand-shaped, with a smooth, lustrous finish that appears almost liquid. A transparent outer layer showcases the saturated interior hues, while the star-like, dynamic form imparts a sculptural quality. The base is low and slightly concave, displaying minor, natural shelf wear as proof of the piece’s authenticity. The overall condition is excellent – with no chips, cracks, or restorations, and natural air bubbles and gentle flow lines are visible, underscoring the artisanal origins of Murano glass.The piece speaks with the voice of 1950s Italian modernism: a vessel with flowing edges that might recount the filtered light of Venice as it pours into the studios of Murano. Its palette of gold and ruby echoes the optimism of postwar renewal and the vibrant energy of contemporary design – the glass not only reflects light, but also seems to preserve its warmth infinitely within its substantial layers.For arrangement, the bowl may be displayed solo on a marble or wooden console, where it plays with natural and artificial light – suitable for both minimalist settings and among richer collections of mid-century ceramics or graphic art. It pairs well with a brass table lamp or as a striking accent to matte pottery. Interiors referencing mid-century modern style or eclectic vintage collections will highlight its Italian origins and bold form.Technical specifications are not provided by the manufacturer or seller. Care for Murano glass generally involves gentle hand cleaning with a soft cloth and protecting the piece from sudden temperature changes.
