Murano MCM Classic Sommerso Vase Green & Blue 8.5 Teardrop Glass Heavy Vintage

A striking vintage sommerso art glass vase from the island of Murano in Venice, Italy. It is emerald green and cobalt blue, cased in clear glass with a heavy clear bottom.

Its massive teardrop form, deeply submerged jewel-tone color and heavy clear casing are characteristic of classic mid-century Murano sommerso, in the stylistic tradition associated with Flavio Poli and Archimede Seguso. Their vases were generally unsigned. It's 8.5" tall, 5" at its widest point, and weighs a startling 7 lbs 3 oz. A few small, light scratches and expected shelf wear on the bottom.
