Description
A Venetian organic glass basket shaped vase or bowl, made on the island of
Murano, near Venice, Italy. Made in the style of
Flavio Poli's sommerso glassware for
Seguso Vetri d'Arte, which has since been duplicated by several other well known manufacturers including
Mandruzzato,
Formia and
Luigi Onesto. In a stunning combination of blue glass cased in green glass, which is further encased in clear glass, using the renowned Venetian
Sommerso technique.
Size
Measures approx 7.5 inches tall by 7.25 inches in diameter at widest point.
Condition
Excellent condition, no chips or cracks other than a couple of tiny nicks to the base rim, shown in final picture. To be extremely fussy, the piece is not perfectly symmetrical, as one side of the "handle" is more curved than the other (see pictures).
