Murano Sommerso Yellow Art Glass Vase, 1970s

Italian Mid-Century Murano Sommerso Glass Decor

A striking example of Murano Sommerso craftsmanship, this yellow art glass vase from the 1970s embodies the mastery and precision of Venetian glassmaking. The Sommerso technique, meaning “submerged” in Italian, involves layering contrasting colors of molten glass to create a vibrant depth and dimensional effect.

Venetian artistry and timeless technique
The clear and amber-yellow layers create a luminous optical play, capturing and refracting light through the vase’s faceted form. The result is both sculptural and functional — a perfect reflection of Murano’s mid-century artistry and innovation.
