Description
Murano Glass Freehand Trefoil Sommerso Bowl
Big, luscious free-formed mid-century art glass. Beautiful art glass like this tri-cornered sommerso bowl adorned the homes of the elegant mod in the 1950’s to 1960’s. Lighter colored glass glows bright yellow under blacklight indicating manganese in the recipe. Italian maker’s were among the last to use it, ending in the late 1950’s.
In excellent condition with some expected bottom-wear on the polished flat base and a few light scratches. There is no maker’s mark. In a very pleasing amber and blue sommerso. Hand-formed glass is peppered with tiny air bubbles and one inclusion, this is common on vintage blown glass.
Big and heavy. Weighs 3 lbs. Measures 10.5″ x 10″ x 8″. Stand 3.25″ at tallest. Versatile display bowl goes great on the coffee table, can be used as a candleholder, flower float or catch-all.
