About the Item

This stunning Mid-Century Modernist Hand-Blown Murano Sommerso Glass in Emerald & Amber Hues, originating from Italy, Circa 1960, is a brilliant example of the design motifs and techniques of traditional Murano Art glass. Defined by its captivating interplay of color and form, this piece combines emerald green and amber hues that layer together in a gradated, fluid manner, creating the submerged layered motif from which Sommerso glass gets its name. The vase showcases a clean, sculptural silhouette with a dynamic sense of organic elegance, with two dynamic curvatures achieved with glass gently extruded from the mouth of the vase and looped back to form amphora style handles. The emerald green core is encased in a layer of amber glass, and both sit enveloped within a final layer of clear crystal, resulting in a striking depth and richness of tone. The skilled craftsmanship ensures each color is seamlessly fused, yet they remain distinct, with light refracting through the layers to produce a mesmerizing interplay of brilliance and warmth. This piece epitomizes the Mid-Century Modernist aesthetic with its focus on simplicity, innovative techniques, and the use of high-quality materials to create timeless designs. The vibrant contrast between the cool, jewel-like emerald and the warm amber tones adds to its visual appeal, making this vase not only a functional decorative object but also a true piece of art. A stunning vase, this piece will style beautifully in a wide array of spaces and settings, from Mid-Century Modernist to Contemporary and Minimal Interiors. In Excellent Vintage Condition.
