Venini-style "Sommerso" Murano glass centerpiece with a mocha and white banded motif.
This refined piece is crafted using a sophisticated variation of the Murano "sommerso" technique.
The inner core features a meticulous and hypnotic spiral pattern, formed by alternating threads of opaque white (lattimo) glass and mocha brown glass. This two-toned spiral is seamlessly encased in a thick layer of flawless clear crystal, giving the piece a perfectly smooth and lustrous exterior.
The visual contrast between the dense geometric lines and the solid, fluid crystal body gives the bowl extraordinary depth and presence. True to its high-end artisanal origins, the glass features rare and isolated micro-air bubbles, trapped between the layers during the mouth-blowing process. The base is finished with a masterfully ground and satin-finished pontello, a distinctive feature of the professional cold-work technique typical of prestigious Murano glassmakers of the time, such as Venini, Salviati, and Seguso.
Thanks to its impressive dimensions (diameter 34 cm) and striking minimalist palette, this rare bowl represents a highly valuable collector's item of post-World War II Italian design, perfectly combining Venetian artisanal tradition with modernist elegance.
