Murano Faceted art glass bowl, 1970s.

Murano Faceted art glass bowl, 1970s. Heavy geometric bowl in solid Murano crystal glass with layered optical colour in blue and golden tones — a classic example of 1970s Italian Sommerso technique. Origin: Italy, Murano. Material: Hand-blown and faceted glass. Dimensions: H. 9 cm, D. 16 cm. Period: 1970s. Condition: Excellent condition with minor signs of wear. Bio: Murano glass of the 1960s and 70s was defined by technical experimentation with optical effects, colour layers and sculptural form. The Sommerso technique — where multiple layers of colour are encased in clear crystal — made these bowls highly sought-after luxury table sculptures.
