This Murano crystal vase from the Mandruzatto glassworks, dating to around 1950, exemplifies the mastery of the 'sommerso' technique developed by Flavio Poli. The vase features an intense amber-gold core encased in a transparent crystal layer, allowing light to penetrate and reveal the depth of color. Its organic, asymmetrical silhouette—tapering teardrop shape with two upward, dynamic spouts—reflects the mid-century modern idiom. Measuring approximately 19.5 cm in height, 10 cm in length, and 6.5 cm in width, the vase is crafted from thick, smoothly ground glass with a highly polished, mirror-like surface. There are no signs of wear, damage, or restoration, confirming its excellent state of preservation.

The sculptural form and fluid lines evoke the era’s quest for innovation—where experiments in color and shape meet artisanal precision. The piece seems to tell the story of Murano’s golden dawn: an island where glassmaking tradition intertwines with the pursuit of modernity, and every detail is shaped by craft and imagination. This vase brings a poised presence to
