AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Refined centerpiece (or large trinket dish) in precious Murano glass, produced by the historic furnace La Murrina in the 1970s. The piece stands out for an organic, fluid design that evokes the shapes of nature, with hand-shaped tips that confer a dynamism typical of Italian high-atelier modern design.
Technical Details and Craftsmanship:
The piece is made with the complex glass technique called "Sommerso": a central core of warm amber color is fused inside a thick swath of transparent crystal, creating a depth and luminous refraction effect that is unique. Elegant inclusions within the color are visible, enhancing its brilliance.
Conditions and Authenticity:
The object is in excellent condition, preserving the original glass luster without chips or restorations. Authenticity is guaranteed by the mark "La Murrina" impressed directly into the glass, a distinctive sign of the most prestigious era of the furnace’s production.
Main characteristics:
Producer: La Murrina (Murano)
Period: 1970s (Mid-Century Modern)
Material: Murano crystal with amber core
Weight: 1.2 kg (solid object with a strong material presence)
