Flavio Poli Sommerso Prismatic Vase for Mandruzzato

Exceptional carved art glass vase, designed by Flavio Poli for Mandruzzato in Murano, Italy. The piece employs the renowned Sommerso technique, featuring an amber yellow and cobalt blue core suspended within a thick layer of clear crystal.

Its characteristic faceted prismatic silhouette is achieved through meticulous hand-carving and cold polishing, creating sharp edges that act as optical prisms. The design plays with the laws of refraction, offering an appearance that changes drastically depending on the viewing angle and the incidence of light. An architectural and sculptural piece that defines the refinement of Italian modernism.
