ABOUT PRODUCTID 12602
Crafted on the island of Murano in the 1950s to Flavio Poli’s design, this vase exemplifies the classic Sommerso technique—a deep, honey-amber core encased in a thick layer of transparent glass. Gently rounded corners and a vertical, elongated oval indentation define the vessel’s subtly rectangular silhouette. Every surface is hand-finished to a glossy polish, highlighting the weighty walls and precision of its sharp edges—hallmarks of Italian mid-century modern glassmaking. The glass is free from chips, scratches, or signs of wear, offering clear reflections and tonal depth; the piece remains in outstanding collector’s condition.This vase tells of Italian design in the 1950s: a form where warm amber merges with transparency like layers of memory beneath the smoothness of glass. The thick walls and high-gloss finish invite light to travel and refract within the body, casting delicate golden shades. Poli’s Sommerso becomes not just an optical effect but a tactile conversation—every shift in viewpoint reveals new tones, new reflections, new dimensions of amber. The strong geometry imparts the quiet balance and restraint of mid-century elegance.The Murano vase can anchor an interior defined by clear structure—on a light oak or blackened wood console, where its refined form plays against stripped-back surfaces. It might pair with mid-century ceramics or graphic art, and hold a single, minimalist cut flower. Its presence suits a living room or library alongside classic lamps, simple mirrors, or brass accents. For eclectic, artful spaces, it’s worth combining with other Italian glass pieces or using bold color contrasts that further highlight the expressive character of modernist Murano glass.
