The crisp angles and polished surfaces catch and reflect the light beautifully, emphasizing the weight and clarity of the glass. Within this sculptural shape, the sommerso technique adds depth and warmth, with a rich umber core layered inside a soft yellow tone and encased in clear crystal.

Mandruzzato was founded in 1934 on the island of Murano, Venice, Italy, by Benjamin Mandruzzato. The factory has stayed in the family to this day and is probably best known for their geometric shaped vases and bowls, inspired by an earlier collaboration with Pablo Picasso. Mandruzzato is the only glass master on the island of Murano still producing glass from solid molds, and then shaping them once they are cooled. See less
