Description

A sculptural Murano glass table lamp executed in the sommerso technique, featuring a rich amber core encased within a thick, clear glass body. The form is elongated and teardrop-shaped, with smooth, organic contours that emphasize the depth and optical effects of the layered glass.

The warm amber tone appears suspended within the crystal casing, creating a striking contrast and subtle light diffusion when illuminated. The design is strongly reminiscent of works by Flavio Poli for Seguso Vetri d’Arte, known for pioneering bold sommerso compositions in the mid-20th century.
