“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.
