Description

Here is a wonderful Venetian glass vase, made on the island of Murano, near Venice, Italy. In a stunning combination of red glass cased in a band of pink or peach glass, which is further encased in an angular block of clear glass, using the renowned Venetian Sommerso technique.

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.

Size

Measures approx5.5 inches tall by 1.5 inches in diameter at widest point.

Condition

No chips or cracks other than a couple of tiny fleabites to the rim and one side edge, and a small faint surface scratch to one side, all shown in final pictures.
