Seguso Murano Cobalt Blue a Bollicine Pulegoso Italian Art Glass Bowl Vide-Poche

About the Item

Beautiful vintage Murano hand blown Sommerso clear bubbles over cobalt blue Italian art glass decorative bowl, vide-poche. Documented to designer Archimede Seguso, with worn original red "Made In Murano Italy" label attached underneath. Created in the manner of Flavio Poli for Seguso Vetri d' Arte items. The piece is done in a "Sommerso a Bollicine" or "Pulegoso" technique, with thousands of bubbles within the glass layers. It has a biomorphic / organic shape with lots of curves along the edge of the bowl. Would make a great display piece on any desk, vanity or coffee table. Use it as a catchall, candy or jewelry dish. You will be able to showcase it as a decorative piece in any room. Mid-century era. For accuracy, there is a mark on the inside of the bowl (see last 2 photos). You can't really see it when displayed, but I have taken a photo with direct sun shining right on it, so you can see what I looks like. As mentioned, it is hardly noticeable when displayed. Measures: 6" long x 5" wide x 2 3/4" high.

Archimede Seguso

Archimede Seguso redefined a 650-year family history of Murano glass-making with brilliance and novel techniques, elevating him to an exemplar for the maestros of his time as well as for future generations of glassmakers. This next generation included his sons and grandsons, who carried on and further expanded the family legacy of Venetian art glass. The survival and revival of traditional glassblowing combined with unique design are the legacies left behind by a master.

Seguso grew up in the family furnaces of the Soffieria Barovier Seguso and Ferro, where his training began at age 11. By the time he turned 20, he was a maestro in his own right, joining the family business as a partner.

In 1933 the company changed its name to Seguso Vetri D’Arte, and Seguso gained sole control. He collaborated with designers Flavio Poli and Vittorio Zecchin, which allowed him to achieve artistic sovereignty leading to the opening in 1946 of his own furnace, Vetreria Seguso Archimede. There, he could explore his design ideas with creative freedom. In 2007, the 23rd generation of Seguso glassmakers took the lead at Seguso Vetri D’Arte. Brothers Gianluca, Pierpaolo and Gianandrea Seguso carry a six-century dynasty of Seguso glass into the 21st century.

Archimede Seguso’s art glass pays homage to tradition. Seguso studied and mastered techniques from centuries past, but he also pioneered innovative approaches, such as submersion and unconventional color constitutions. He awarded future generations with stunning and unprecedented effects, such as ribbed textures, rings, needle shapes and the appearance of embedded objects.

A lifetime of achievement created by Seguso is honored in museums worldwide, such as the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, MoMA in New York and Museum Kunstpalast in Dusseldorf, to name a few. His exhibit resume spans decades, beginning with XX Biennale, Venezia, in 1936. It includes a 1989 exhibit of “Il Maestro dei Maestri” at Tiffany & Co., New York, and 2013 exhibitions at Musée Maillol in Paris and Museo della Basilica di San Marco in Venice.
