PLAY VIDEOS WITH SOUND UP! ✨✨✨💋 RARE Magnificent clam-shell shaped ruby red and green crystal “Sommerso” glass Murano glass bowl or ashtray. This amazing piece was produced in Italy during the 1960s. This is a perfect blend of sinuous lines and colors of the Murano glass due to the mastery of the Sommerso technique. A perfect item for completing a midcentury-style home. The Sommerso technique was originally developed in the 1930s by Antonio Da Ross Sommerso ( Italian for ”submerged") is the Murano glassmaking technique of creating two or more layers of contrasting glass without the colors mixing together. It is formed by dipping colored glass into molten glass of a different color, before blowing the glass into the required form. The outermost layer is often clear. During the 1950s the Sommerso style became world famous due to the work of Flavio Poli, artistic director of Seguso Vetri d'Arte. There have since been many other factories in the Murano region which have made pieces in this style, and as such it is difficult to be certain of the manufacturer without labels or signatures present. 2.5” tall 6” widest point engagement gift for a groom or wedding gift. blown glass Mid Century modern Home collectible dish bowl ashtray tobacco cigar Pottery Barn West Elm Crate & Barrel Restoration Hardware Wisteria decor art prints cottage-core candle planter tapestry interior design bedroom living house office contemporary furniture traditional mid century boho Valentines
