Notes
This bowl is an example of a Murano freeform glass centrepiece, likely from the 1950s- 1970s. It is crafted using sommerso and hand pulled techniques typical of mid-century Murano studios.
Sommerso is a classic Murano glassmaking technique that means 'submerged' in Italian. It refers to the process of layering different colours of glass in a way that creates depth and visual effects.
