Italian Red Art Glass Vase, Flavio Poli for A. Mandruzzato, 1960s

About the Item

This Murano glass vase is a stunning example of mid-century Italian design, originating from the renowned glassmaking island of Murano in Venice. Specifically, this piece is attributed to Flavio Poli, a celebrated glass designer who worked for Alessandro Mandruzzato. The vase embodies the technical sophistication and artistic brilliance that define Murano glass. Vase Highlights: Design and Aesthetics: The deep red and transparent blue colors are characteristic of the rich color palettes of Murano. The faceted design of the vase reflects the distinctive style of Mandruzzato, known for geometric and cubic art glass. The polished, faceted surfaces enhance the play of light, creating dynamic visual effects. Sommerso Technique: The sommerso technique involves layering different colors of glass, often with varying consistencies. This creates a striking layered effect. Invented and perfected in Murano, this technique has become particularly iconic through the works of designers such as Flavio Poli. The deep red and transparent blue layers are distinctive features of the sommerso technique. Art and Craftsmanship: The vase is made of thick, high-quality glass, which increases its durability and intrinsic value. The absence of a signature does not obscure the vase's attributed origin, as it is based on the specific quality and design associated with Flavio Poli's work. Versatility: Due to its small size, this vase can easily be placed in various spaces within a home, adding a touch of elegance and artistic style.It not only serves as a functional container, but also as a stand-alone work of art that enhances the aesthetics of any space. Condition: The vase is in excellent vintage condition, a significant factor in its desirability and value as a collectible. Historical and Cultural Significance: Murano Glassmaking Legacy: Murano glass has a long history dating back several centuries, symbolizing the ingenuity and timeless beauty of glass art. The island of Murano is synonymous with high-quality artisanal glassmaking techniques. Flavio Poli and Alessandro Mandruzzato: Both Poli and Mandruzzato have made significant contributions to the art of Murano glassmaking. Poli is particularly known for his innovative designs and mastery of the intricate sommerso technique. In summary, this Murano glass vase stands out as a remarkable piece of 1960s Italian design, illustrating the exceptional craftsmanship of Murano artisans. Its exquisite use of the sommerso technique combined with the refined geometric design attributed to Flavio Poli positions it as a significant and beautiful addition to any collection or home decor.
