Art glass vase handmade in the sommerso technique with a purple core encased in clear glass, approximately 20 cm high, 7 cm wide and 4.5 cm deep, dating to the mid 20th century, in very good condition with no cracks or chips and an unmarked origin (likely European, possibly Italian Murano).
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
I offer an art glass vase made in the sommerso technique, which involves enclosing a colored core in a thick layer of clear glass. A slender, elegant form with balanced proportions, characteristic of European design in art glass from the mid-20th century.
Coloured core in a purple/amethyst shade contrasts with the colorless housing, creating a distinct depth effect. The vase is handcrafted, from a solid mass of glass, with a smoothly finished surface.
Unmarked item – designer and glassworks studio undetermined. The technique and form used are similar to Murano pieces, but the lack of a signature does not allow unambiguous attribution of origin. The object should be regarded as European art glass from the period roughly the 1950s–1970s, potentially Italian (Murano).
The input is a special character (em dash) and does not require translation.
Behavior state
