AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Stunning and imposing vintage art glass sculptural vase, finely handcrafted in the tradition of mid-24th century "Sommerso" glass. The vase features an elegant, slender body with a ribbed swirl pattern (twisted ribs) that opens into a dramatic, hot-modeled petal rim shaped like a corolla or handkerchief. The piece showcases an extraordinary three-tier color transition: the lobed base glows in intense emerald green, shading into a warm golden amber in the stem, and culminating in a deep, dense purple/amethyst on the upper petals. A piece of great decorative impact, perfect for mid-century modern collectors and lovers of Italian art glass.
