Monumental Murano Glass Catchall/Vide Poche by F.Poli for Seguso, 1970s

Monumental and rare murano "sommerso" catchall designed by flavio poli for seguso vetri d'arte (murano, italy, 1970s). Made of red, yellow and transparent glass. Perfectly works as a vide poche, a catchall or just as a display piece on any table. Extremely decorative. Very rare because of the size (usually these catchalls are much smaller - see the comparative picture, the second catchall is of course not part of the offer). Original label intact. Length: 14 cm; width: 14 cm; height: 5.5 cm. Weight: 2 kg. Very good vintage condition. No chips, no cracks, no flea bites. Some usual scratches. "sommerso" (italian for ''submerged'') is a technique developed in murano in the 1930s which became very popular in the 1950s-70s. The result is a glass with contrasting colours that is commonly cased by a clear layer.
