These sculptural pieces are exceptional examples of the sommerso technique, a hallmark of poli’s work, where richly saturated inner colors are suspended within thick, crystal-clear glass. The result is a luminous, dimensional effect that shifts beautifully with light and perspective. Each bowl features a distinct form and colorway: a green and amber square bowl, bold and architectural with strong geometric presence a deep ruby red oval bowl, softly rounded with elegant, organic lines a pink to orange square bowl, warm and vibrant with a glowing inner core together, the trio creates a dynamic interplay of color, form, and transparency—equally compelling as a grouped display or as individual accent pieces. All three retain their original murano labels.
