Color upon color, each distinct from each other, is the hallmark of the sommerso technique, pioneered in Murano in the 1930s. Turquoise and pink are the chosen tones for this 1970s vase, and in the case of the latter, the molten colored glass was concentrated toward the base, lending a vibrant finish to the soft pastel body. Please note, this item is a truly original vintage piece with slight imperfections and distinctive characteristics that add to its charm and celebrate its unique history.
