A tall ''Sommerso'' glass vase
£550
A ''Sommerso'' glass vase, designed by Flavio Poli for Seguso Vetri d'Arte, Murano, the colourless glass body with green and yellow underlays.
Sommerso glass, a renowned technique in glassmaking, originated in Murano. The term 'sommerso' meaning 'submerged' in Italian, aptly describes the process. This technique involves layering different colours of glass to create a rich, translucent effect. The layers are applied while the glass is still hot, allowing the colours to fuse seamlessly without mixing.
