Murano Sommerso Faceted Glass Vase – Emerald Green & Amber Cased

A striking and sculptural Murano sommerso glass vase of impressive scale and presence, masterfully executed in richly layered emerald green and warm amber tones, encased within crystal-clear glass and precision cut to a bold, faceted form. This piece exemplifies the refined artistry of mid-20th century Murano glassmaking, where technical innovation met modernist design. The sommerso (“submerged”) technique—where layers of coloured glass are encased within clear crystal—creates remarkable depth and optical interplay, beautifully enhanced here by the sharply polished geometric facets. The vase’s architectural silhouette and substantial weight are characteristic of high-quality production, closely associated with the work of leading Murano houses such as Mandruzzato. Details: • Technique: Sommerso (multi-layer cased glass) • Colours: Emerald green core with amber/yellow undertones, encased in clear crystal • Form: Faceted, free-standing geometric vase Collector’s Note: Sommerso glass remains one of Murano’s most celebrated techniques, prized for its depth, luminosity, and technical difficulty. A sophisticated and timeless example of Murano craftsmanship.
