Sommerso Murano Glass “Valva” Vase by Flavio Poli for Seguso, Italy, 1950s

Creator: Flavio Poli
Offered by: MA+39

Description
An elegant Murano glass vase designed by Flavio Poli for Seguso, executed in the celebrated sommerso technique and shaped in the distinctive “Valva” form. The sculptural silhouette rises in a fluid, asymmetrical curve, tapering to a pointed crest that evokes the organic lines of a shell or folded petal.

A rich emerald-green core is encased within thick, clear crystal with warm amber undertones, creating remarkable depth and luminous tonal transitions. The layering enhances the sense of movement within the glass, while the polished surface amplifies reflections and color shifts.

Both sculptural and refined, this piece exemplifies Poli’s mastery of form and color, standing as a timeless work of mid-century Venetian glassmaking and a sophisticated accent for collectors of Murano design.
