This refined artistic vase is a testament to the sublime skill and vision characteristic of 1970s Murano glass craftsmanship, particularly in the hands of master artist Flavio Poli for Seguso. Renowned for his pioneering use of the sommerso (submerged) technique, Poli's work stands as a vibrant example of how intricate layers of glass can produce a stunning interplay of color and texture.
The vase’s unique flattened quadrangular prism shape further amplifies its modern design ethos, adding geometric sophistication to any setting. This design choice is both rare and noteworthy, aligning with the bold and innovative spirit of mid-20th century modernism. The intense red exterior, juxtaposed with a yellow interior and encased in transparent glass, creates a dynamic visual effect. This stunning chromatic arrangement is brought to life through the multifaceted shape of the vase, enhancing the way light interacts with the piece. Depending on the angle and lighting conditions, the three colors can merge and fade, creating a mesmerizing display of hues.
Such a transformation is made possible by the sommerso technique, which involves skillfully layering glass to achieve seamless transitions between colors. The process demands precise control and a deep understanding of glass properties, culminating in a piece that is as much an art form as it is a functional object.
Even without a signature, the attribution to Flavio Poli is unmistakable. The quality of the glass and the vase’s distinctive design are in perfect harmony with Poli’s known repertoire, reinforcing its authenticity. Its small size, combined with its refined nature, makes it an adaptable accessory for various interior contexts. Whether it adorns a bookshelf, dining table, or serves as a focal point in a living room, its presence is both subtle and profound.
The elegance and refinement captured in this vase are bound to draw admiration and perhaps a touch of envy from guests. Its timeless beauty and expert craftsmanship ensure it remains not just a piece of décor, but a cherished work of art. This exquisite vase stands as a captivating and inspiring element, perfect for enhancing the aesthetic appeal of any room it graces. - More Information
