Murano Faceted Four-Layer Sommerso Glass Vase – Mid-Century Modern

A stunning vintage Murano glass vase crafted using the iconic Sommerso (submersion) technique, likely from the 1960s–1970s. This tall faceted block design features four distinct layers of color: a rich green core, surrounded by amber, then blue, and finally encased in thick clear crystal. The sharply cut, geometric facets create a striking prismatic effect, allowing light to refract through each color layer with jewel-like brilliance.

The elongated, angular block form exemplifies the sculptural modernist style for which Murano glassmakers such as Mandruzzato and others became renowned. Retains its original Made in Murano Italy label.
