This Murano Sommerso vase from the 1950s, attributed to Flavio Poli, embodies Italian glass artistry from the mid-century modern era. Distinctive for its tall, hexagonal silhouette and sharply defined edges formed in thick layered glass, the piece was crafted using the Sommerso technique, resulting in seamless color gradations. The inner layer features a vibrant, warm-toned red encapsulated by transparent yellow, all enclosed within a substantial, polished clear crystal exterior. The surface is lustrous and highly transparent, allowing light to refract dynamically along the edges and enhancing the visual depth of the colors. There are no ornamental patterns, only pure, harmonious transitions and mathematical clarity of form. No signs of wear, damage, or restoration are present; the vase is maintained in excellent vintage condition.Within this glass structure lies the spirit of the mid-20th century—a period when Murano and Flavio Poli sought chromatic synthesis and crystalline form, bridging Venetian tradition with modernist innovation. The saturated red, encased in clear glass, reflects the boldness of 1950s color palettes, designed to stand out even after sunset. The vase seems to echo the ambiance of the Murano Glass Museum, where every facet captures the movement of the artisan’s hand, and every shade weaves a memory of Italy’s design golden age.The vase may be displayed against a neutral background—on an oak or marble console in the living room, for example—to accentuate its color transitions and geometric body. It could be paired with other art glass pieces or minimalist
