Murano, Italy, mid 20th century
Heavy Sommerso glass, 18 × 13 × 7 cm
Excellent condition, with light wear commensurate with age.
A substantial Murano Sommerso glass dish produced by CAM Vetri d'Arte, distinguished by its saturated blue and green layers suspended within thick, crystal-clear glass. The softly asymmetrical form is restrained yet sculptural, allowing colour, mass and light to define the object.
The composition relies on proportion rather than ornament. Thick layers of cobalt and emerald appear to float within the vessel, their edges shifting in intensity as light passes through the glass. The generous thickness and polished surfaces create remarkable optical depth, while the gently folded rim introduces movement without disturbing the clarity of the overall form.
Its appeal lies in the balance between colour, weight and transparency. Whether viewed from above or in profile, the work rewards changing light throughout the day - transforming from a quiet sculptural object into a luminous study in colour and form.
