The Italian glass artist Flavio Poli (1900-1984), trained at the Istituto d'Arte di Venezia, was a phenomenon in the world of glass art. Its design capabilities and continuous desire for improvement and application of new techniques have ensured that he is considered one of the greatest of its kind.In 1934 he developed a style that he called immersed, sommerso in Italian. It is a technique that consists of three transparent layers of glass, two of which are colored and one remaining colorless. The sommerso objects became his greatest success and this also applies for Seguso Vetri d'Arte, where he was a partner until 1963.

Design

This slim, elongated bowl has the beautiful color combination verde - blu. This is a transparent Nordic green covered with a transparent dark blue. Green ranges from slightly lighter at the top to a deep, almost black shade at the bottom. The outer blue layer has an eye-catching softness and seems to give the green an almost soft landing. Varying shades apply here, a light blue, almost reminiscent of violet, but with a changing light an aquamarine hue appears.

Condition

The bowl has no chips, but there are superficial scratches.
