ABOUT PRODUCTID 12568
This Murano glass vase, designed by Flavio Poli in the 1950s, was crafted using the sommerso technique, which involves encasing a core of vibrant colored glass within a thick layer of crystal-clear glass. The dominant hue is a vivid, cool green that transitions into subtle golden-yellow accents, producing a nuanced gradient effect. The elongated, hexagonal body features sharp, gently faceted edges and a glossy, tactile finish; the substantial glass walls highlight the depth of the composition while adding visual stability and weight. The lack of visible seams or joins attests to advanced Venetian artisanal skill. The glass remains impeccably clear and free of scratches, restoration, or damage—each element is original and in excellent condition.This object echoes the story of Murano, where glassmakers, suspending color within transparency, narrated a tale of bold technique and reverence for pure form. The internal green core, enveloped by a crystal sheath, seems at times to shimmer with gold, at others to recede into shadow, much like southern light diffused beneath cypress trees. The vase’s geometric silhouette reflects mid-century modernism’s affinity for both mathematical rigor and an artistic freedom that invites contemplation.Suited particularly to collector’s interiors or contemporary living rooms, the vase can be placed on a marble console or frosted tabletop. It may be paired with mid-century artwork, minimalist ceramics, or a single botanical stem that leaves the sculptural shape undisturbed. Flanked by other Murano pieces or a lamp with cool illumination, it subtly accentuates the layered colors and transparency. Whether amid modernist decor or an eclectic collection, the vase lends an understated Italian presence, letting its glass and color quietly hold the gaze.
