Murano Sommerso green & brown art glass

The murano sommerso (submerged) glass bowl from italy, resembling being submerged in a pond, is renowned worldwide among collectors for its beautiful and unique design. Originating in the 17th century, it is an original product from murano, the most famous and prestigious glass-making region globally. The sommerso technique involves layering different colored glasses by melting them together. Through this process, while appearing green from the outside, peering into the bowl reveals a brown hue, creating a subtle and mesmerizing effect when admiring the object. To achieve the desired colors, precise measurements of chemical additives are used, and varying temperatures are applied during the melting process, requiring meticulous attention to detail. This technique further accentuates the beauty and uniqueness of murano glass. Crafted from thick glass, it sparkles brilliantly and exhibits excellent balance. It serves as a luxurious interior decor piece, adding sophistication to any space.
