The compact geometric form, measuring approximately 9 x 8 x 6 cm, is shaped as a faceted triangular or miniature pyramid-like block with a recessed bowl. It combines a ruby-red interior with amber-yellow and clear outer glass, creating the layered optical effect characteristic of the Sommerso technique. The sharply cut exterior planes and heavy construction are consistent with Mid-Century Murano decorative glass, particularly designs associated with workshops producing geometric faceted forms during this period, although without a label or signature I would not assign it to a specific maker such as Mandruzzato.
The strong color combination and unusual compact form make it appealing to collectors of postwar Murano glass. See less
