ABOUT PRODUCTID 13909
This Murano vase, designed by Flavio Poli and crafted in the 1950s in Italy, is a remarkable example of Sommerso glasswork typical of mid-century Italian ateliers. Its organic, freeform silhouette, featuring five prominent undulating peaks at the rim, evokes the shape of a blooming flower or flickering flames. The thick, mouth-blown glass is marked by vertical ribs that enhance its sense of height and add tactile interest. The nuanced color palette transitions from a gentle blush pink at the top, through a clear, transparent midsection, to a vivid turquoise blue at the base. The surface is expertly polished to a glossy finish, highlighting the glass’s luminosity and the layered depth of the Sommerso technique. Offered in excellent, collector-grade condition, the vase shows no visible signs of wear; its clarity and shine are pristine.The vase expresses the spirit of its epoch, when Italian glassmakers pursued both technical mastery and bold artistic expression. Its fluid silhouette suggests motion—a moment captured in glass, whether rising smoke or an unfolding blossom. Variations in color and light lend the piece an ever-changing character: each shift in perspective or beam of sunlight reveals new facets, creating a subtle visual drama that recalls the mid-century search for both innovation and beauty.This vase may be paired with minimalist ceramics, a mirrored console, or light-toned wood furnishings to accentuate its hues and organic contours. It suits interiors inspired by mid-century modern design, contemporary collector’s spaces, or as a standalone statement on a living room sideboard. For display, it could accompany a single cool-toned branch or remain empty, allowing natural light to play across its sculptural glass surface.No additional technical details or care instructions are provided by the manufacturer.
