AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An emerald-green core sits inside a mantel of amber, enclosed in 770 grams of solid, facets-cut glass. This sommerso block vase from Murano (attributed) breaks the light into emerald, amber, and clear. The core runs as a long, rounded hollow through to just above the bottom. On a table or sideboard the block catches daylight and returns color.

Description:
A rectangular block 17 centimeters high, 5.5 wide, and 4 deep. The outside is facet-cut and polished; the top and bottom are flat-cut, with no pontil mark. Inside sits an emerald-green core with flowing walls, surrounded by an amber layer that flares out toward the bottom. The fine bubbles in the core are production-specific. The weight of 770 grams fits solid glass. This is not a thin-walled vase but a thick, polished glass piece, and you can feel that in the hand.
About the maker:
Sommerso, the immersion of a colored core in clear glass, is a Venetian (Murano) technique. In the 1960s and 1970s small studios on Murano, such as Mandruzzato and Ma-Gu-Se, produced facet-cut block vases with this technique.
In the interior:
On a dark sideboard, beside a window, the emerald-green core becomes the only saturated focal point in the room.
