Luciano Gaspari Murano Sommerso Glass Vase, Italy 1960s

Italian Mid-Century Modern Murano Glass

A refined and sculptural Murano glass vase by Luciano Gaspari, executed in vibrant blue sommerso glass with an elongated organic silhouette. The piece features a striking layered composition, with deep cobalt and aqua tones suspended within clear crystal glass, creating exceptional depth and luminosity.

The elegant teardrop form and elongated neck reflect the sophisticated experimentation of Italian mid-century Murano glassmaking, where colour, transparency and sculptural balance became central artistic elements.

Sculptural Murano glass with sommerso technique

This vase displays the celebrated sommerso glass technique, achieved by layering coloured glass within clear crystal. The result is a fluid optical effect that changes beautifully depending on light and surrounding interiors.

The internal blue form gives the vase a dynamic presence, making it equally impactful as a standalone sculptural object or within a curated collection of Italian glass.

Luciano Gaspari and Italian glass artistry

Designed by Luciano Gaspari, one of the most recognised Murano glass designers of the post-war period, this piece embodies the refined elegance associated with Venetian glass production during the 1950s and 1960s.

Its elongated proportions and rich saturated colours make it ideal for mid-century modern, contemporary, or collectible Italian design interiors.
