Flavio Poli for Seguso – Murano Sommerso Vase – Collectible Glass

The “Sommerso” style is a hallmark of Murano glass art, instantly recognizable by its layered colors encased within the finished piece. This technique — which involves literally dipping molten glass into layers of differently colored glass — was created and perfected by designer Flavio Poli during his tenure as artistic director at the Seguso furnace. His innovation earned him the Compasso d’Oro, the highest accolade for Italian designers.

This piece, dating back to the mid-1960s, is in excellent condition and is a wonderful example of Poli’s distinctive style. It combines the refined Sommerso technique with vibrant shades of blue and fluid organic forms, which make Murano glass so captivating and sensual.

A beautiful decorative collectible, this vase will illuminate any coffee table, bookshelf, or console. Place it on a sideboard, bedside table, or shelf to bring a touch of refined, unmistakable elegance to your unique interior.
