This striking black glass "Sommerso" vase, designed by Nils Landberg in 1950 for Orrefors, is an exemplary piece of mid-century Swedish glass art. The vase features the renowned Sommerso technique, a process involving the submersion of multiple layers of colored glass within a clear encasement, creating a captivating depth and complexity of color.

Landberg's design boasts a sleek, elegant form with a deep black core that gradually transitions to clear glass, giving it a mysterious and sophisticated appearance. The contrast between the dark center and the transparent exterior emphasizes the vase's clean lines and the remarkable clarity that Orrefors is known for.
