Murano Sommerso Glass Centerpiece | 1960s Organic "Bullicante" Design
Quality & Authenticity Note
Details
A superb example of Mid-Century Murano glass artistry. This substantial centerpiece, dating back to the 1960s, features the renowned "Sommerso" technique, where layers of colored glass are submerged to create deep chromatic complexity.
The organic, informal shape is enhanced by a sophisticated three-tone palette: a smoky grey (fumé) outer layer, an emerald green middle section, and a warm amber core. The green layer is further enriched by the "Bullicante" effect—finely controlled air bubbles that catch the light, adding a sparkling texture to the thick, hand-worked glass. Its elongated, boat-like silhouette makes it a striking decorative statement for any contemporary or vintage interior.
