Submerged vase Seguso Vetri d'Arte, Murano, circa 1960

Sculptural block in sommerso glass, produced in Murano (Italy) around 1960, attributed to the Seguso Vetri d'Arte factory or a nearby modernist circle. This piece exemplifies the post-war Venetian exploration of solid glass with contrasting chromatic layers. The rectangular prismatic shape with polished edges expresses the geometric aesthetic of the time, while the contrast between the translucent aqua outer layer and the internal heart with amber-ruby gradients creates remarkable optical depth.
