Sommerso Bowl-Ashtray in the style of Flavio Poli, Murano, 1960s
VNTG00290
$340.28
$
A small Murano glass bowl-ashtray, crafted using the sommerso ("submerged") technique—one of the most recognisable methods in 20th-century Italian glassmaking. Coloured layers of glass appear to be placed within each other, creating an effect of depth and rich colour. Green and ruby-red glass were used in its creation.
The form, palette, and character of this piece align with the aesthetic of Flavio Poli’s works for Seguso Vetri d’Arte, created in the 1950s–60s.
This bowl can serve as an ashtray, a holder for incense, jewellery, or small trinkets, or as a standalone decorative object.
About the sommerso technique
Sommerso (from Italian, “submerged”) is a multi-layered Murano glass technique where one colour appears to be encased within another.
The technique became widespread on the island of Murano in the 1930s–60s and became one of the visual hallmarks of Italian mid-century design.
Flavio Poli and Seguso:
Flavio Poli (1900–1984) is one of the key designers of Murano glass of the 20th century. In the 1930s, he began collaborating with Seguso Vetri d’Arte, one of the oldest glass manufactories on the island of Murano, with a history dating back to the 14th century.
Poli's sommerso technique made multi-layered coloured glass internationally recognisable and is today considered an important part of mid-20th century Italian design history.
