This beautiful 1960's art glass bowl was made with the 'Sommerso' technique in a deep black colored glass with pops of colors swirling throughout and a contrasting crystal clear rim. It is both understated and elegantly simple resulting is a beautiful piece of vintage Italian art glass. It is very bold, substantial, and heavy. “Sommerso” in Italian means literally "submerged" or "sunken glasses". It is a fairly difficult technique, but giving a charming effect of three-dimensionality and brightness in the glass structure. The aim of sommerso is to create an illusion of deepness, and to add a glow between the glass layers. It boasts a free form shape with wavy edges and a deep enough bowl shape to serve or display a wide variety of items.
