“Valva” Murano Glass Vase by Flavio Poli for Seguso, Italy, 1960s

Creator: Flavio Poli
Offered by: MA+39

Description
The “Valva” vase designed by Flavio Poli for Seguso is a refined example of Murano glass artistry, distinguished by its organic, sculptural form and masterful sommerso technique. The softly asymmetrical silhouette resembles a natural shell, with fluid contours that create a sense of movement and balance.

Layers of transparent crystal encase a deep smoky amber core, producing subtle tonal shifts and luminous depth as light passes through the glass. The polished surface enhances the interplay of color and transparency, emphasizing the technical precision and elegance typical of Poli’s work.

Both decorative and collectible, this piece embodies the innovation of mid-century Venetian glassmaking and stands as a sophisticated accent object for modern interiors and curated design collections.
