ABOUT PRODUCTID 14107
The Murano Sommerso vase designed by Flavio Poli in 1950s Italy exemplifies mid-century modern artistry in glass. Crafted from substantial, hand-blown glass, the vase features an elongated, graceful silhouette with a rounded, weighty base tapering gently to a subtly flared mouth. Its surface boasts a deeply luminous high gloss; the main tone is warm amber, which slowly transitions to a soft green near the base—classic for the sommerso technique. Colored layers merge seamlessly, revealing precise, vertical fluted grooves that accentuate the play of light and tactile interest. The absence of visible seams attests to painstaking handmade craftsmanship. No chips or cracks are apparent; only minimal signs of use are detectable, confirming the vase is preserved in excellent vintage condition.This vessel channels the voice of a postwar, optimistic Europe: the clarity of the glass and measured contours convey the creative energy of the 1950s. In Flavio Poli’s hands, Murano glass tells a story of seeking light and new forms—color swelling within the material like a captured droplet, its gentle curves diffusing a soft luminous glow. Every highlight and subtle hue shift on the surface recalls the spirit of Italian glassmaking: calm yet experimental, harmonious in its union of tradition and modernity.This vase may be placed atop an oak console or marble tabletop, where its interplay of color and light will be amplified by natural materials. It fits well into interiors inspired by mid-century modern aesthetics; it could be paired with geometric ceramic vessels, minimalist lighting, or a single eucalyptus stem to enhance its layered glass construction. The piece might also serve as a visual focal point against a neutral wall or among books and vintage sculptures, affirming
