Description from the seller

Rare Sculptural Glass Vase 'Submerged' Signed by Silvano Signoretto – Murano, 1990s

In auction, an exceptional piece of contemporary glass art: a Murano glass sculptural vase, created and hand-signed by the renowned master Silvano Signoretto.
This vase is not just a container, but a true massive glass sculpture. It features an organic, sinuous, and asymmetrical form that culminates in a bold oblique cut ("biseau") of the mouth, hand-smoothed, a distinctive hallmark of Signoretto's bold design.
The complex submerged glass technique is taken to perfection here. The base and sides consist of a thick layer of pure transparent crystal, which envelops and suspends a vibrant inner core. This core is a fascinating gradient that fades from an intense, passionate ruby red at the top to a warm, luminous amber yellow toward the base. The transparency of the solid glass creates spectacular play of light and refractions, making the inner colors appear to float in space.
The vase is notably heavy and solid, testifying to the quality and quantity of artistic glass used. It is in excellent, nearly new condition, with no visible chips, cracks, or scratches.
An indispensable piece for connoisseur collectors of author Murano glass and for those seeking an iconic art object with strong visual impact.
