Description from the seller

Splendid handcrafted solid glass art vase in the shape of a Heart, made with the sophisticated "sommerso" technique. A sculptural piece with unique charm, perfect as a decorative element or to enrich a collection of 20th-century art glass.

The vase features an internal core of deep black glass enclosed by a thick layer of transparent glass.
• The central core is embellished with a precise and regular sequence of elongated air bubbles. The base of the transparent body encloses a dense pattern of suspended micro-bubbles that create extraordinary plays of light. Sculptural shape: Elegant teardrop silhouette, the form handmade by the glass master
• (traceable to Murano craftsmanship or to the great tradition of Scandinavian glassmaking of the period).
Hand-blown and hand-worked art glass
Intense black and transparent glass
• Conditions: Excellent vintage condition. No chips, cracks or restorations evident. Shows slight and normal signs of aging on the base, consistent with age and workmanship
