About the Item
Murano Sommerso Glass Bowl in Blue and Violet with Original Label, Italy, circa 1960s
Description (≈200 words)
This elegant Murano glass bowl, crafted in the 1960s, is a refined example of the celebrated sommerso technique, in which multiple layers of colored glass are submerged within clear crystal to create depth and luminous contrast. Featuring bold tones of cobalt blue and violet, the piece reveals a striking interplay of color and transparency that shifts beautifully under changing light. Its simple, geometric form enhances the intensity of the hues, while the weight and polish of the glass underline the high quality of Venetian craftsmanship.
Originally conceived as an ashtray or decorative bowl, this work exemplifies Murano’s ability to blend functionality with sculptural design. A particularly rare and desirable feature is the original Murano factory label, still intact, which certifies authenticity and makes the piece especially valuable to collectors.
In excellent vintage condition, with no chips or restorations, the bowl retains its clarity, brilliance, and strong decorative presence. Versatile in use, it can serve as a centerpiece, a decorative accent, or as part of a curated collection of mid-century Murano glass. A timeless example of Italian artistry, this bowl embodies the innovative spirit of 20th-century Venetian glassmaking.
