AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Elegant, finely crafted, faceted Sommerso glass vase.

The vase features an intense cobalt-blue glass core, surrounded by a warm pinkish to amber intermediate layer and a transparent outer glass layer. Depending on the lighting, the different glass layers and the meticulously cut facets create impressive color and depth effects.

Characteristic is the strictly geometric, square shape with the large, deeply cut facets. The facets run downward, producing a central converging pattern. The mouth and the base are faceted and polished. It bears no visible manufacturer label or recognizable signature.

Dimensions:
Height: approx. 20.6 cm
Maximum width: approx. 8 cm
Opening: approx. 4 × 4 cm
Base: approx. 4.1 × 4.1 cm
Weight: approx. 1,093 g

Material: Sommerso glass
Colors: cobalt blue, pink/amber and transparent
Technique: Sommerso, faceted and polished
Dating: presumably 1970s
Origin: Unknown

Condition: Overall good to very good vintage condition. No cracks, chips, or major damage detected. The vase shows light age- and use-related traces, in particular fine scratches or signs of wear on the faceted and polished surfaces. These are typical for a used glass object of this age and do not detract from the vase’s overall effect.
