ABOUT PRODUCTID 12566
This Murano glass vase was designed by Flavio Poli in Italy during the 1950s, executed using the Sommerso technique. An intense, transparent green overlays a warm, amber-yellow core, both encapsulated within a thick, crystal-clear glass layer. The vase possesses an elongated, geometric silhouette with a hexagonal cross-section, its structure marked by smooth, sharply defined planes and edges. The narrow, subtly contoured mouth and flat, multi-faceted base are characteristic features of mid-century Italian modernism, emphasizing clarity of line and material. There are no decorative patterns—the entire visual effect relies on the interplay of light, color purity, and the architectural simplicity of the form. Its highly polished, glossy surface accentuates the depth and transparency of the colored layers. The vase shows no visible signs of wear, damage, or restoration; its condition remains excellent, significantly enhancing its appeal as a collectible.This vase speaks in the language of an era that balanced experimentation with precision. Murano in the 1950s was a locus of refined innovation, where every refraction and each saturated hue captured a whisper of the Italian dolce vita made tangible. Its straightforward, multi-faceted structure serves as an architectural frame for visual phenomena—it is an object that forgoes ornamentation in favor of elemental color and optical play, evoking a time when craftsmanship and art formed a seamless whole.The vase may be placed atop pale marble, rosewood veneer, or a minimalist console to highlight its crystalline profile and nuanced color gradations. It is well suited for arrangements with a single branch or as a standalone accent piece in modernist, mid-century, or minimalist interiors. Consider pairing it with refined ceramics or noble metals to enhance its glassy character, or incorporate it into a collection of
