Description

Here is a wonderful Venetian glass bowl, made on the island of Murano, near Venice, Italy. Several Murano factories have made sommerso glassware in this faceted style, including Mandruzzato, Bucella Cristalli, Campanella, Oball, and V. Nason. Like with most sommerso glass, many inexperienced or untrustworthy sellers would attribute this to a Flavio Poli design for Seguso Vetri d'Arte, but there is no evidence that SVA ever made these (none shown in their factory catalogues, and none found with their labels) and plenty of evidence that other factories did. If other sellers that often make this mistake read this, please, fix your descriptions, and stop misleading your buyers. In a stunning combination of ruby red glass encased in an angular block of blue glass, using the renowned Venetian sommerso technique. This piece has two alternate bases so that it can be positioned either flat or at an angle, see pictures.

Size

Measures approx 1.75 inches tall by 3.5 inches in diameter at widest point.

Condition
