Mid-Century Murano Sommerso Glass Bowl

This exquisite hand-blown bowl is a striking example of mid-century Sommerso glass, a technique pioneered in Murano, Italy, during the 1950s. The name Sommerso, meaning “submerged” in Italian, refers to the method of layering contrasting colors of glass to create depth and luminous visual effects.

Featuring a vibrant cranberry-pink core encased in a clear and subtly tinted outer layer, this piece showcases the clean, elegant lines and minimalist profile typical of the modernist aesthetic. The flattened, gently curved form enhances its sculptural quality, making it ideal as both a functional dish and a decorative statement.

Attributed to the style of renowned Murano makers such as Flavio Poli for Seguso Vetri d’Arte, this bowl is a timeless reflection of the artistry and innovation that defined mid-century Italian glass design.
