Background on the Manufacturer:
While we cannot attribute this vase to a specific manufacturer without a maker's mark, the Sommerso technique was pioneered by Murano glassmakers in Italy. Carlo Scarpa developed this method in the 1930s at Venini & Co., and it gained worldwide popularity in the 1950s through the work of Flavio Poli at Seguso Vetri d'Arte. However, many other factories in Murano and around the world have produced glassware in this style, including Mandruzzato, Galliano Ferro, Formia, and Arte Nuova.
Release Date or Age of Item:
Based on the style and technique, this vase likely dates from the mid-20th century, approximately the 1950s to 1970s, when Sommerso glassware was at the height of its popularity.
