Thickly cast in layered glass, the piece reveals a rich amber-orange exterior that subtly shifts to a vivid pink hue under changing light, creating a dynamic interplay of colour characteristic of Murano sommerso techniques. The interior is smoothly recessed, while the outer form remains softly rectangular with rounded edges, lending the bowl a tactile, almost organic quality. Despite its small scale, the substantial weight and density of the glass give it a grounded, architectural feel. The rim and base are finely polished, enhancing both clarity and light refraction, with the form designed to catch and diffuse light across its surfaces. Glassworks of this type are commonly associated with Seguso Vetri d’Arte, known for their refined control of colour layering and mass. Condition is very good for age and use. Minor superficial wear is visible to the polished base, with no chips or structural damage noted. Dimensions: Height: 5.5 cm / 2.17 in Width: 9.5 cm / 3.74 in Length: 6.5 cm / 2.56 in See less
