AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Elegant pair of blown glass sculptures made using the sommerso technique (layers of colored glass "submerged" in clear crystal), typical of Murano glass art in Italy.
Multilayer glass with deep and luminous gradients: intense blue, turquoise, green and yellow/orange, all enclosed in a transparent outer layer. Elongated teardrop shape, balanced, base slightly flattened and polished, creating a superb depth and reflections effect depending on the light.

- Large sculpture: weight 1200 g – height ≈ 17 cm – width ≈ 11 cm – thickness ≈ 7.5 cm
- Small sculpture: weight 759 g – height ≈ 14.5 cm – width ≈ 9 cm – thickness ≈ 5.5 cm

Condition: excellent – no cracks, chips, significant scratches or opacification. Vivid and intact colors, (see detailed photos faithful to the actual object).

These multicolored sommerso teardrop shapes are emblematic of Murano production in the 1970s, inspired by the great masters and workshops of the era (such as those exploring Flavio Poli styles for Seguso Vetri d'Arte or other similar manufacturers). Probably Murano (Italy), though unsigned (common on many pieces from this period and this technique, where signatures are not systematic). The quality of the blowing, the substantial weight, the purity of the layers and the finish indicate high-end Italian artisanal craftsmanship. True connoisseurs will recognize the brand.

Sold as a pair, perfect for a showroom, an exhibition piece, or as a decorative mid-century modern element. Ideal for collectors of Italian artistic glass, sommerso and abstract design from the 70s.

Careful and secure shipping (reinforced packaging with protective foam + double carton), insured with international tracking.

Condition: Excellent – no visible defects
Origin probable: Murano, Italy
Period: around 1970-1980
Material: Blown glass sommerso multilayer
Total weight: around 1.96 kg
