Murano Sommerso Purple Art Glass Vase, 1970s

Italian Mid-Century Murano Sommerso Glass Decor

A beautifully crafted Murano Sommerso art glass vase in deep purple and smoked tones, created on the Venetian island of Murano during the 1970s. This piece demonstrates the remarkable precision and artistry behind the Sommerso glassmaking technique, where layers of contrasting glass are submerged within each other to achieve a rich and luminous depth.

Venetian craftsmanship and modernist form
The faceted geometric silhouette enhances the vase’s visual play of color and light. The inner violet core appears suspended within clear glass, producing a sculptural depth that shifts with every angle — a testament to the handblown artistry and innovation of Murano’s mid-century era.

Collectible Italian glass design
Highly sought after by collectors, this piece embodies the timeless elegance and sophistication that define Murano glass. Perfect as a standalone sculpture or grouped with other Sommerso works for an elevated interior display.
