About the Item

A vibrant mid-century Murano glass bowl, attributed to Alfredo Barbini. Handcrafted using the sommerso technique—one of the most skilled and distinctive methods in Murano glassmaking—this piece features multiple layers of tonal glass in yellow, green, and amber. The effect creates striking ribbons of colour that encircle the bowl, further accentuated by subtle indentations on each side of its square form. A beautiful example of vintage Italian art glass, it embodies the craftsmanship and bold aesthetic of mid-century Murano design. Measuring 9.5 cm in width and depth, with a height of 5 cm, the bowl remains in very good condition for its age, with only minor surface wear. The glass retains its rich saturation and brilliance, just as it did when it first emerged from the furnace.
