Triangular Sommerso Murano Glass Bowl by Flavio Poli, Italy 1950s

Creator: Flavio Poli
Offered by: AtKris Studio

Description
This stunning sommerso Murano glass bowl by Flavio Poli exemplifies mid-20th-century Italian glassmaking. Utilizing the sommerso technique, Poli layers colored glass within a thick, clear glass exterior, creating remarkable depth.

Design
The bowl’s fluid, organic form is both elegant and modern. The inner part of the bowl features a vibrant red core, enveloped in a thin layer of blue. This combination is enhanced by the thick, transparent outer layer, which magnifies and distorts the colors, creating an ever-changing visual effect as light interacts with the glass.Flavio Poli’s work is celebrated for blending artistic expression with technical precision. This bowl is a testament to his innovative approach, harmonizing color and form beautifully, and holds significant historical value in Italian glassmaking.

Condition
The bowl has some marks here and there and light scratch on the edge but only to be seen if you look very closely.
