The piece showcases the Sommerso technique, layering clear glass over a milky Lattimo core, with vibrant green/yellow inclusions that appear to float within the glass. Fine aventurine particles add a subtle shimmer that catches the light beautifully.

The combination of Sommerso and Lattimo glass, along with aventurine sparkle, are hallmarks of Murano craftsmanship and strongly suggest its Venetian origin. Its substantial size (14 inches long) sets it apart as a true centerpiece, larger than most catchalls or bowls from the same era.

A timeless example of mid-century Italian glass design, this piece is perfect as a table centerpiece or displayed as a work of art in its own right. See less
