It is attributed to the Seguso Flavio Poli factory, prized as dating back to the 1970s, and comes with its original box.

Subject and Style: The design is geometric and minimalist, playing on the contrast between the square outer shape and the oval inner bowl. The workmanship is sculptural, massive, and faceted, designed to enhance the refraction of light through the glass. Material and Finish: Crafted from heavy solid glass using the "Sommerso" technique. The color is a refined and clear transparent amethyst purple. The finish is polished and brilliant, achieved by perfect grinding. Base: The base is flat and square, as wide as the body, ensuring perfect stability. Ideal for collectors of Murano glass and Flavio Poli designs, as an elegant coin tray, a luxurious paperweight, or as a decorative piece for a modern study.
