Purple with Green Core – Sommerso Art-Glass Vase Clear Casing (Murano-Style)
A jewel of color inside glass: a cool green core “submerged” beneath a sheath of purple, all sealed in a clear outer skin that makes the colors look deeper and alive. The form is clean and modern—the kind of piece that catches sun on a shelf and glows at dusk on a credenza.

Murano Glass Making Techniques: Sommerso


Brand / Pattern Background

“Sommerso” means “submerged”: Murano masters layer contrasting colors—first the inner core, then outer hues—finally sealing everything in clear glass so the inside looks deeper and magnified. The technique emerged in late-1930s Venice (Venini, Carlo Scarpa) and was made famous in the 1950s by Flavio Poli at Seguso Vetri d’Arte. That’s why a simple vase can feel like a gemstone under water.
