Celebrated for his pioneering use of the sommerso technique, this vase showcases multiple layers of overlapping glass, resulting in a striking interplay of color and texture. It features a rare and characteristic flattened quadrangular prism shape that is a hallmark of modern design, adding an element of geometric elegance to any space.

The vase predominantly features an intense red exterior with a yellow interior, all encased within transparent glass. The multifaceted shape of the vase allows the three colors to shift and blend depending on the viewing angle, and the way light interacts with the piece further enhances the intensity of the colors. This delicate and remarkable play of colors is achieved through the sommerso glassworking method, known for its ability to create seamless transitions between different hues. This technique produces a multi-layered effect that not only elevates the vase's visual appeal but also renders it a functional work of art. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker.
