ABOUT PRODUCTID 14051
The vase, designed by Flavio Poli in the 1950s, is an example of mid-century modern Italian Murano glass made using the Sommerso technique. The dominant feature is its saturated ruby red core, cased within a substantial layer of clear glass, creating a sense of depth and visual lightness. The design is organic and sculptural, with pronounced, elongated spikes along the rim, inspired by biomorphic and sea motifs. The surface is flawlessly smooth and highly lustrous, highlighting the mastery typical of Venetian craftsmanship. No scratches, chips, or signs of wear are present. Condition: excellent, collector’s grade, with no visible defects.This vase tells the story of postwar Italy—a time when optimism merged with the quest for innovative forms, balancing tradition and artistic experimentation. Its gleaming body evokes the era’s dynamism: rich in color and transparency, as if capturing both the luminosity and motion of the Venetian lagoon. The undulating rim suggests a dialogue with the sea, echoing Murano’s history, conveying an impression of fluidity arrested in glass.Placed solo on a piano, a marble console, or a muted coffee table, the clear base accentuates the light while the ruby hue provides a strong focal point in spaces inspired by mid-century modern or Italian vintage. Paired with minimalist ceramics, metal sculpture, or subdued artwork, it highlights its formal and chromatic qualities; it may also serve as a central decorative accent in contemporary settings, suitable for both living rooms and gallery displays.No additional technical or care information is available; the piece is made entirely from artistically shaped Murano glass.
