The mid-20th century marked a golden era for the glasshouses of Murano, Italy, where master blowers pushed boundaries with fluid, biomorphic shapes and dramatic color manipulation. This piece beautifully illustrates the sommerso or layered glass tradition, blending contrasting jewel tones inside thick, polished glass structures to create striking optical dimensions when viewed from different angles.
