About the Item

A distinctive example of mid-century Italian art glass, this vintage Murano geode bowl is attributed to Flavio Poli for Seguso Vetri d’Arte, circa 1960s. Expertly executed using the renowned Murano sommerso technique—“submerged” in Italian—the design features a saturated blood-red core encased within layers of clear crystal glass, producing a sense of luminosity and depth that is central to the geode aesthetic. The bowl’s octagonal form is accentuated by sharply defined faceted sides, which refract light to create a dynamic presence. This example is notable for its deeper red coloration, a less commonly seen variation within Murano glass geode bowls, which often favour brighter hues. The restrained use of colour enhances the optical clarity and structural rhythm of the piece. Measuring 12 cm wide by 7 cm high, the bowl remains in good vintage condition, with minor signs of use consistent with age. A refined addition for collectors of 20th-century Murano glass or admirers of Italian modernist design.

Murano Glass Shell Dish in Red, Attributed to Archimede Seguso, 1950s
By Archimede Seguso
Located in Glasgow, GB
A decorative Murano glass dish, attributed to Murano glass maestro Archimede Seguso. Handcrafted in Italy in the 1950s, this elegant dish takes the form of a scallop shell, with its bottom edges pinched inward to create the distinctive shape. Made from vibrant red Murano glass and seamlessly fused with a sheet of gold leaf—a signature technique in mid-century Murano glass design—this combination results in a rich, organic pattern. During the firing process, the stretching and forming of the molten glass produce a concentric pattern of gold flakes that radiate outward, echoing the delicate textures found in a natural scallop shell. Measuring 11 cm in width and length, with a height of 3.5 cm, this vintage Murano...
