Seguso Vetri d'Arte Italy, ca. 1961 Blu-Violetto sommerso glass 6 3/8" d, 2 3/4" h (16, 7 cm)
This wonderfully sculptural bowl was designed Flavio Poli around 1961 and is executed in the seldom-seen Blu-Violetto color combination. The designs of Flavio Poli are truly iconic, and his post-war creations are prime examples of the Mid-Century Modern aesthetic.
Excellent condition. Tiny bubbles within the glass congruent with the sommerso glass technique.
