The vase features a masterful execution of the classic sommerso (submerged) technique, showcasing a vibrant core of rich ruby red (rosso rubino) encased within a deep, brilliant blue (blu), all enveloped in a thick layer of flawless, heavy clear glass. The stark, elegant geometric contours beautifully play with the light, creating captivating optical illusions and shifting color gradients from every angle.
Standing at an impressive height of 30.5 cm, this sculptural piece perfectly embodies the refined minimalism and organic elegance that defined Poli's award-winning work for Seguso during the 1950s. A timeless centerpiece for any serious Murano glass collection or sophisticated mid-century interior.
