A "Sommerso" glass bottle vase designed by Flavio Poli, in colourless, blue and red glass, manufactured by Seguso Vetri D'Arte.

Sommerso glass, a renowned technique in glassmaking, originated in Murano. The term sommerso means 'submerged' in Italian, which aptly describes the process. This technique involves layering different colours of glass to create a rich, translucent effect. The layers are applied while the glass is still hot, allowing the colours to fuse seamlessly without mixing.
