This particular artistic vase truly embodies the pinnacle of Murano glass craftsmanship from the 1960s, a masterpiece attributed to master glassmaker Flavio Poli for the house of Seguso. Recognized for her expertise and innovation, Poli has succeeded, thanks to the sommerso technique, in creating an artifact that brilliantly combines aesthetics and technical know-how.
The sommerso technique, characteristic of Poli's work, consists of immersing successive layers of glass of different colors, producing an effect of depth and fluid color transition. In this vase, the intense ruby red color forms the outer layer, creating a dazzling contrast with the vibrant yellow interior and the transparent glass that envelops it all. This virtuoso layering is not only a demonstration of technical skill, but also elevates the vase to the status of a luminous sculpture.
The design of the vase, with its sinuous shape and soft curves, evokes both delicacy and strength, a testament to the intrinsic qualities of Murano glass. The perceptible weight of the object, despite its modest size, testifies to the density and superior quality of the glass used, essential elements specific to Murano creations of this period.
The absence of a mark or signature in no way affects the attribution of the vase to Flavio Poli and Seguso. The refinement of the design and the excellence of the workmanship are sufficient indicators to recognize the author and value this piece as an authentic Murano creation.
When it comes to decor, this vase is extremely adaptable thanks to its timeless aesthetic and graceful silhouette. It can adorn various surfaces with elegance, whether positioned high on a bookcase, placed on a dining table as a central accent, or enthroned in a living room as a centerpiece. Its captivating effect is guaranteed, without excessively dominating the space, thus adding a touch of class and sophistication to any environment.
This vase is not only an aesthetic acquisition but also a historical testimony to the mastery of Murano glass in the 20th century, a legacy of a prolific era of creativity and artisanal perfection under the gaze of the incomparable Flavio Poli.
