This elegant vessel features a dramatic interplay of color and light, utilizing the traditional sommerso technique to suspend a vibrant turquoise core within a secondary layer of amber-gold, all encased in a thick, crystalline glass exterior. The vase is defined by its slender, architectural silhouette that tapers gracefully toward a substantial, weighted base. Its exceptional clarity and height create a towering presence, making it a focal point for any interior-designed space.
Consistent with Flavio Poli for Seguso Vetri d'Arte (Murano, Italy), 1960s
The triple-layered sommerso construction and the specific combination of teal and amber glass are hallmark traits of 1960s Muranese production. The form is stylistically aligned with the minimalist, geometric designs of Flavio Poli, focusing on clean lines and the optical depth of the glass layers. The significant "clear foot" (an inch of solid glass at the base) is a high-quality indicator of mid-century Italian craftsmanship.
Height: 12 inches
Width / Diameter: 3 3/4 inches (Mouth)
Depth / Base Diameter: 3 3/4 inches
Weight: 1.692 lbs
Excellent vintage condition. The exterior surfaces are remarkably well-preserved with no observed scratches, chips, or cracks. A faint residue from historical water use is present on the interior; this is minor and appears consistent with light mineral deposits that can be addressed through professional restoration or specialized cleaning.
Hand-blown in Murano, Italy, this vase was constructed by repeatedly dipping a colored gather into pots of molten glass of different hues. The heavy base features a perfectly ground and polished concave pontil, evidence of its manual fabrication. The thickness of the glass wall allows for the sophisticated refraction of light through the internal color bands, a signature of the high-lead content used in premium mid-century Italian glass.
The verticality and vibrant hues of this vase make it an ideal architectural element for a sun-drenched console table or a floating wall shelf. It serves as a commanding sculptural object even when empty, though its weight and height allow it to accommodate tall, single-stem botanicals with ease.
STANDARD ATTRIBUTION & VALUE DISCLOSURE; This piece is described to the best of current scholarly and market knowledge. Any maker or regional attribution is based on visual analysis, materials, construction techniques, and documented stylistic comparisons. As with many MCM and antique design objects, definitive attribution may not be possible without original labels or factory records. Pricing reflects condition, quality, decorative appeal, and current collector demand rather than guaranteed maker identification.
