Vintage Murano Sommerso Bowl | Sculptural Italian Art Glass Centerpiece

A striking and highly decorative Murano Sommerso Crystal bowl. Formia Vetri di Murano, Italy, dating to the 1960s. This sculptural centerpiece embodies the elegance of Italian mid-century design, with its fluid organic form and gracefully arched handles that create a dramatic silhouette.

Crafted using the traditional sommerso technique, layers of soft pink and amethyst tones are encased within clear crystal, resting on a subtle aqua-blue base. The glass appears almost weightless, yet the piece has a luxurious presence — perfect as a centerpiece, collector’s display object, or statement décor in a modern or vintage interior.

The bowl captures light beautifully from every angle, revealing depth, movement, and refined craftsmanship typical of Murano studio production.

A rare and elegant example of Italian art glass — ideal for collectors of Murano, mid-century modern design, or sculptural decorative objects.
