AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant Modernist Vase Attributed to Murano – “Sommerso” Technique
A splendid example of Venetian glass design, this hexagonal cylindrical vase embodies the minimalist, geometric aesthetic typical of the mid-20th century. Made in Murano, it combines fine craftsmanship with modernist rigor.
Artistic Details and Craftsmanship
• Period: Dating from the 1960s to the 1970s.
• “Sommerso” Technique: This complex process involves layering several layers of molten colored glass. The result is a three-dimensional effect of suspended color, with the hues seeming to float within a solid block of crystal
• Color: The central core is a deep red, wrapped in a vibrant amber-yellow layer, all enclosed in a transparent glass casing that captures and refracts the light.
Design and Dimensions
• Shape: A rectangular prism with a geometric cut and hexagonal base, an icon of modernist taste.
• Dimensions: 15 cm high, with a hexagonal base measuring 5 cm in diameter
• Visual Impact: The perfectly polished flat surfaces create reflections that enhance the depth of the internal colors
Condition
The piece is in good vintage condition, retaining the integrity of its structure and the brilliance of its colors.
Shipping and Packaging
Given the value and fragility of the piece, we guarantee professional packaging. Shipping will be handled by an international courier with full tracking and insurance included.
