The Murano Sommerso centerpiece from the 1950s, attributed to Flavio Poli, exemplifies Italian postwar modernist decorative glass. Handcrafted using the sommerso technique, the bowl features multi-layered color gradients, with an organic, flowing rim in deep amber and red shifting to a honey-gold center. The exceptionally thick glass has a polished, lustrous surface, imparting a sculptural and three-dimensional presence. Fluid transitions between hues and an asymmetrical silhouette—with a gently recessed base and subtle signs of hand-finishing—confirm the hallmark of Murano glassmaking. Small air bubbles and delicate streaks within the glass are testament to artisanal creation, and the piece presents with outstanding clarity and craftsmanship. Condition: excellent; the bowl shows no signs of use, scratches, or repair.This centerpiece evokes the voice of 1950s Venetian glass studios—a form that, like a wave of light, captures the enduring glow and postwar optimism of mid-century Italian design. Its palette, progressing from honey through amber to ruby red, expresses a narrative of creative renewal, recalling mornings on Murano island where glass sheets catch the last play of sunlight. There is a sense of energy, shimmering subtlety, and the reserved confidence of the craftsman who forever encloses light within the glass body.The bowl would be well suited as a central objet on a marble or oak console, where its dynamic contours and saturated hues could become the focal point of the room. It may be paired with a table lamp in warm gold tones or contrasted against mid
