About the Item

A captivating example of Murano Sommerso glass, this sculptural blue and purple bowl features layered hues encased in clear crystal, creating remarkable depth and luminosity. Its rounded form and bold colouring embody the sophisticated craftsmanship and visual allure of Italian mid-century glassmaking. Sommerso technique and Venetian craftsmanship Produced on the island of Murano, this piece employs the renowned Sommerso technique—meaning “submerged” in Italian—where layers of coloured glass are encased within clear glass. The transition between the vibrant amethyst core and the deep cobalt outer layer demonstrates the skill and precision that define Venetian artistry. Sculptural elegance and versatility Originally designed as an ashtray, the piece now functions beautifully as a decorative bowl or centrepiece. Its thick glass walls and smooth, polished contours give it a strong sculptural presence, making it ideal for both display and everyday use.
