AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Two vintage art-glass vases – faceted art glass – Bohemian/Moser style & Sommesso impression
Decorative pair of high-quality-looking art glass / kunstglas vases with a striking, geometric form and large, flat-cut or polished surfaces.
The design is typical of modern European design glass from the second half of the 20th century and can be stylistically placed around the 1960s to 1970s.
Clear glass vase
The larger vase is made entirely of solid-looking clear glass. Especially striking are the strong geometric facets and the elongated, drop-shaped interior structure, which, depending on the incidence of light, produce interesting refractions and reflections.
The design language recalls Bohemian / Czechoslovak crystal and art glass, as found, among others, in the environment of the traditional Moser manufactory. A direct attribution to Moser is not possible, as there is no signature or manufacturer label.
Height: ca. 23 cm
Base: ca. 4 × 4 cm
Glass thickness: ca. 5 mm
Material: Clear glass / art glass
Style: Bohemian-Czechoslovak design glass, Moser impression
Manufacturer: unknown
Dark red vase
The smaller vase features an intense dark red to burgundy glass core, which can appear almost black without direct lighting. When viewed against the light, the deep red coloration becomes clearly visible.
The colored core is surrounded by a clear glass mass and then heavily faceted and polished. This design recalls the Sommerso technique or Italian Murano art glass, where colored glass is enveloped by transparent glass.
The striking facets and the combination of dark colored glass and clear glass also show parallels to so-called Vetri Molati works, as seen, among others, in the Mandruzzato milieu and other Murano manufactories of the 1960s/70s.
However, since there is no original sticker and no signature, the vase is explicitly offered only as Murano/Sommerso impression and not as a confirmed Murano production.
Height: ca. 20 cm
Base: ca. 3.5 × 3.5 cm
Glass thickness: ca. 4 mm
Color: very dark ruby / burgundy red, partly almost black
Technique / Style: Art Glass, Sommerso impression, heavily faceted
Stylistic direction: Murano / Vetri Molati
Manufacturer: unknown
Condition
Both vases are in good used vintage condition with slight age- and use-related traces, especially fine surface and stand marks.
