The Mandruzatto vase from Murano, created around 1950, is a notable example of Italian art glass crafted using the sommerso, or 'sun technique,' popularized by Flavio Poli.

The outer layer features a transparent, pastel pink that gradually transitions into a warm, vibrant yellow at the core, producing a subtle gradient effect. The vase is finished with a flat, finely ground base and a glossy, mirror-like surface free from visible texture or pattern. Measuring 11 cm in height and 4 × 4 cm in width and depth, the piece presents an intimate yet striking presence. It remains in very good condition, with no damage or restoration marks—the glass is clear and unblemished by time.This object tells the story of the mid-20th century, when modernist restraint met bold experiments in color and light.
