SILVER Seller in Milano, Italy
Green and orange submerged Murano glass vase in the style of Seguso, 1960s. Many different styles of glass are created on the island of Murano. Blown, sculpted or molded glass is used to create everything from bowls and vases to sculptures and chandeliers. Color, then, can add another twist, making the number of possible combinations virtually infinite. The present object is a splendid massive and extremely well-preserved vase made of "submerged" patterned glass, a technique invented by the famous designer Flavio Poli in the first half of the 20th century and later used by several designers and manufacturers, including famously Seguso, who has linked his name to these extraordinary works. The submerged glass technique consists of using two or more layers of glass of different colors, one of which is usually transparent, to obtain a finished piece where the colored glass seems to float, as if immersed in the transparent one. What makes this piece special and fascinating, in addition to its excellent state of preservation, is its unusual size-more than 30 cm in height-and its massive weight, which give an impression of solidity that contrasts interestingly with the delicacy of tone and form. It is well preserved, showing no cracks, chips or dents but only a pleasant, light, uniform patina given by time. It is not signed or marked.
