Murano Ashtray or Bowl, Flavio Poli Submerged Glass Amber Blue, Italy, 1960

About the Item

Magnificent bowl or ashtray in Murano glass blue with amber shades. This fantastic item was produced in Italy in the 1960s. This wonderful piece is a perfect blend of sinuous and sexy lines and colors of Murano glass thanks to the mastery of the "sommerso" technique. A perfect object to complete a mid-century style living room or dining room with its delicate lines. The Sommerso technique was originally developed in the 1930s by Antonio Da Ross. Sommerso (Italian for "sommerso") is the Murano glass technique of creating two or more layers of contrasting glass without the colors mixing together. It is formed by dipping the tinted glass into different colored molten glass, before blowing the glass into the required shape. The outermost layer is often clear. In the 1950s the Sommerso style became famous throughout the world thanks to the work of Flavio Poli, artistic director of Seguso Vetri d'Arte. Since then there have been many other factories in the Murano region that have made pieces in this style, and as such it is difficult to be certain of the manufacturer without any labels or signatures present. Other well-known manufacturers who have produced Sommerso-style glassware include Mandruzzato, Galliano Ferro, Formia, Oball, Arte Nuova, and Luigi Onesto.
