Vintage Murano Pocket Emptier Bowl in Pink & Green , rare and decorative 60's

About the Item

Murano Glass - Coffee table Decoration - Glass Sculpture For how magical it might seem at first glance, Murano glass is mostly a matter of chemistry. Color is obtained through the reaction of specific elements which, added to the glass fuse and heated to a certain temperature, will produce the bright hues found on Murano glass objects. This green/pink and clear tones, which are usually found on Sommerso pieces from the Seventies, were the product of a heated part of uranium. While this might seem dangerous at first, there is absolutely no hazard to health: the use of uranium in the production of glass and ceramic is rather common and such has been for decades. The present piece is a triangular vide poche / bowl preserved in great conditions; it only shows the light, expectable signs of time for a piece almost 50 years old. Flavio Poli Born 1900 Died 1984 (aged 83–84) Nationality Italian Occupations Artist Glassmaker Awards Compasso d'Oro Vase made by Seguso Vetri d’Arte, in 'submerged' style, to a design by Poli Flavio Poli for I.V.A.M., naked female solid crystal from Shame, collection, Murano 1930–31 Flavio Poli (1900–1984) was an Italian artist, known for his designs in glass.[1][2] Born in 1900, he was trained at the Istituto d'Arte di Venezia, then began work as a ceramicist.[2] In 1929, he began working for the company "I.V.A.M." (Industrie Vetraie Artistiche Murano) as a designer of glassware.[2] He was appointed artistic director of Barovier, Seguso & Ferro (later Seguso Vetri d’Arte) in 1934, where he devised a style of 'submerged' glass, with several transparent layers, one over the other.[3] Within three years, he was a partner in the company.[2] Poli received one of the inaugural Compasso d'Oro awards in 1954 for the Seguso “Mod. 9822” blue-ruby glass vase.[4] He left Seguso in 1963.[5] From 1964 to 1966 he led the artistic glass division of the Società Veneziana di Conterie e Cristallerie.[2] Poli died in 1984.[2] A number of his works are in the Murano Glass Museum, as well as the Victoria and Albert Museum in London;[6] the National Gallery of Victoria, Australia;[7] the Corning Museum of Glass,[8] and the Metropolitan Museum and Museum of Modern Art in New York.[9][10] Spinzi Milano
