This Murano vase designed by Flavio Poli in the 1950s is a defining artifact of Italian mid-century modern glass artistry. Crafted using the refined sommerso technique, it features a geometric, columnar silhouette with sharply defined edges and a square opening. Layers of crystal-clear glass encase a deep red core, which shifts seamlessly into an amber sheath, all encapsulated under a glossy external casing. Set on a substantial, transparent base, the vase reveals meticulous finishing, mirror-smooth surface, and a subtle interplay of light and saturated color—characteristic of Poli's masterful oeuvre. The proportions reflect mid-century minimalism and formal clarity, while the absence of wear, restoration, or damage confirms its excellent, collector-grade state of preservation. All elements remain original and authentic.Through its clear contours and luminous strata, the vase evokes the optimism of the postwar era and the virtuosity of Venetian glassmaking. The inner red, glowing beneath the flawless surface, conjures the image of molten glass—suspended in time and light. The piece seems to whisper: “Born of Murano’s shimmering currents, I unite modernist discipline with the boldness of color within a single shape. I preserve the era’s light—where the line was as eloquent as emotion.” Geometry and materiality converge here in a distilled language of architectural glass.The vase may be paired with a simple light wood sideboard or a marble console, allowing its crystal shimmer to take center stage. It would suit a mid-century modern living room, complemented by soft wool fabrics and
