The Murano Sommerso Art Glass Approx 6.5” x 2.5”. Weighs 1 pound 10 ounces. This piece exemplifies the Sommerso (submerged) technique, a hallmark of mid-20th-century Murano glass design where layers of contrasting colored glass are encased in clear glass to create depth. Popularized by master glassmakers in Italy during the 1950s and 1960s, this style is highly sought after by collectors for its organic, sculptural forms and vibrant hues. The triangular, pinched design demonstrates the skilled free-hand manipulation of hot glass. Its market value is driven by the quality of the 'sommerso' effect and the overall state of preservation. It remains a staple of Mid-Century Modern interior decor due to its bold aesthetic and timeless artistic appeal.
