About the Item

This striking Mid-Century Modernist Murano glass triangular "Sommerso" vase, rendered in radiant citrine and emerald hues, was hand-blown on the iconic island of Murano, Italy, circa 1960. A masterwork of glass artistry, the vase exemplifies the impeccable craftsmanship and innovative techniques for which Murano glassmakers have been renowned for centuries. The "Sommerso" technique, meaning "submerged" in Italian, involves layering multiple colors of glass, typically encased in a clear outer layer, to create a rich, dimensional effect. Here, the citrine and emerald hues gracefully meld and overlap within the crisp triangular form, creating a visual interplay of light and color that shifts with the angle of view. This dynamic quality enhances the vase's sculptural presence, making it as much an objet d’art as a functional vessel. The vase's clean geometric lines and minimalist aesthetics reflect the Mid-Century Modern design ethos, emphasizing purity of form and timeless elegance. Its triangular shape, with smooth edges and a slightly tapered profile, adds a distinctive architectural quality, making it a decorative centerpiece whether displayed on a console, dining table, or as part of a curated collection of vintage glass. As a quintessential example of 1960s Murano glass design, this vase captures the sophisticated artistry and technical innovation of the era, offering a stunning combination of form, color, and craftsmanship. A collector’s gem, it seamlessly blends history, art, and modern design—perfect for lovers of Mid-Century Modern and Italian glass. In Excellent Vintage Condition.
