Midcentury Seguso "Sommerso" Amber Red Murano Glass Italian Centerpiece, 1970s

About the Item

An incredible "sommerso" amber-red Murano glass bowl. This astonishing piece is attributed to Seguso and was made in Italy during the 1970s. A marvellous bowl it's in perfect vintage conditions and it's amazing because it has an irregular shape, like a falling drop touching the ground. This vase immanent consistency will add a new immaterial dimension to a midcentury living room. The Sommerso technique was originally developed in the 1930s by Antonio Da Ross. Sommerso (Italian for "submerged") is the Murano glassmaking technique of creating two or more layers of contrasting glass without the colors mixing together. It is formed by dipping colored glass into molten glass of a different color, before blowing the glass into the required form. The outermost layer is often clear. During the 1950s the Sommerso style became world famous due to the work of Flavio Poli, artistic director of Seguso Vetri d'Arte. There have since been many other factories in the Murano region which have made pieces in this style, and as such it is difficult to be certain of the manufacturer without labels or signatures present. Other well known manufacturers that have produced glassware in the Sommerso style include Mandruzzato, Galliano Ferro, Formia, Oball, Arte Nuova and Luigi Onesto.
