Murano Glass – Table Decorative – Sculptural Accent

Murano Glass – Table Decorative – Sculptural Accent Many are the different types of glass created by master makers on the Venetian island of Murano. From air-thin vases to expressive sculptures, also massive objects with deep and vivid hues of colour represent the great skills of glassmakers. The present bowl, designed in the style of Flavio Poli, yet not directly attributed to him, is a perfect example of how attractive massive Murano glass can be.

Made in “Sommerso” glass, in shades of green and acquamarine, it has an oval shape, often seen on Murano bowls of the period. It was originally intended as bowl, or just as a decorative piece.

It can be dated approximately to the mid 1960s, based on the style and colors of the piece. Unsigned, as most pieces of that era, it shows great craftsmanship, and is preserved in beautiful conditions. No cracks, dents or damages of sort are visible, and just a light patina proves it is actually a 50 years old object. Don’t miss it!
