The vase is unsigned, but the type of glass used, with a transparent base that then changes to green, and its shape, allow us to attribute the authorship of this vase to the famous Archimede Seguso. We have found two transparent and green glass ducks, very similar to our vase in terms of glass color by Trionfante Casa D'Aste SRL in Palermo, Italy, at the "Design" auction on June 10, 2023, lot number 2, entitled "Anatroccoli (c.1960) ." Then we found another vase, also made of submerged glass, with four large rounded edges protruding from the transparent glass base, while the interior is pink, identical to our base except that the glass inside is green and the mouth is different from ours. However, the base is identical, apart from the color by the Capitolium Auction House in Brescia, Italy, at the "Vetri(online)" auction on July 30, 2019, lot number 559, entitled "Vaso" (Vase).
The shape of the vase is particularly valuable, with various glass ridges that rise upwards and end in a lanceolate leaf shape. Note the peculiarity of the color, especially on the final leaves, which begin with a transparent base, then have a blue stripe, and end in green, with a gradually darker shade, which is very difficult to execute. This object was certainly made by a great master glassmaker. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
