Vide poche - Italy - Submerged Murano

Exceptional and elegant vintage vide-poche (or small centerpiece) in legitimate artistic Murano glass, made in Italy between the 1950s and 1960s. The piece features a sculptural and highly decorative organic design, hand-shaped in the form of a stylized leaf or star with undulating, fluid tips (“Splash design”). It is a standout piece that perfectly encapsulates the charm and sophistication of Italian Mid-Century Modern design. Technique and Colors: Executed using the celebrated Sommerso technique, which layers colored glass without colors mixing. The visual effect is fascinating: a thick amber/yellow base that extends and smoothly transitions to a vibrant emerald green at the edges. The outer cover of clear, thick glass captures and reflects light spectacularly, giving the piece great depth and three-dimensionality. Authenticity note: The vide-poche still bears its original factory label/sticker affixed to the inner face, a crucial detail for collectors that attests to its provenance and era.
