Gorgeous oversized and very heavy jewelry box made in Italy circa 60's in Murano glass and bronze D'ore mounts or gold plated! I don't know for sure! Antonio Da Ross, a highly skilled venețian glassmaker, first developed the Sommerso technique in Murano in the late 1930’s. His work suddenly became famous thanks to the effect of contrasting sunken colours inside one single piece and were soon recognized by the Venice Biennale and many other museums across the world. Paolo Venini, another famous glassmaker, perfected the technique around the same time, but it was Seguso d’Arte who made it world famous during the 1950’s. One of the most common techniques is Sommerso, which in Italian literally means “Submerged”. This technique is used to create several layers of glass (usually with different contrasting colours) inside a single object, giving the illusion of “Immersed” Colours that lay on top of each other without mixing. This jewellery box is in perfect condition, but I'll let the pictures speak for themselves about the beauty of this collectible object! Please look at photos for measures and other details, i tried to take pictures from all angles! Every order will be packaged with care and attention to ensure its safe delivery to you, and the package will be sent with tracking number! Please also look at my other active auctions! Thank you!
