Vintage Big and Massive "Sommerso" Grey Murano Glass Vase, Flavio Poli Style

About the Item

Universally regarded as one of the most prolific and capable designers of Murano glass vases and objects at large, Flavio Poli teamed up with some of the most influential and skilled glass producers of Murano to create timeless design pieces. Amongst all his works, those that gained him the most fame are without doubt the "Sommersi", a style that was quickly imitated by other makers and is still very popular to these days. They are vases, ashtrays, paperweights characterized by the juxtaposition of vibrant colors in contrasting tones that generate a beautiful overall aspect: the original collection earned him the Golden Compass, the most important award for italian designers, in 1954. The present piece, realised indeed with the Sommerso technique, is preserved in stunning conditions and is a tall, massive vase It is grinded in the shape of an octagon, and shows hues of grey and blue, changing significantly depending from the direction and intensity of light.
