A 1970s Murano vase by Flavio Poli for Seguso. Although this vase bears no marks or signatures, it is attributed to Flavio Poli. Flavio Poli is an excellent example of how the art of Murano glass can combine tradition and innovation. The ‘sommerso’ technique, which Poli mastered with great skill, allows one to appreciate the depth and nuances of colour in ways that other methods cannot achieve. The almost three-dimensional effect created by the overlapping layers of glass is a testament to his ability to play with transparency and opacity.
The combination of aquamarine green and yellow not only catches the eye, but also interacts beautifully with the light, changing its appearance depending on the angle of the light source. This feature makes every viewing of the vase a unique experience, emphasising the dynamism of the work.
Furthermore, the choice of a cubic shape is yet another example of Poli’s ability to challenge the conventions of his time. This shape, despite its simplicity, adds a modern and unexpected touch that contributes to the piece’s timeless appeal.
To fully appreciate this vase, one must recognise its power to transform the atmosphere of a room. It is more than just an ornament: it is a statement of style and a tribute to the excellence of Italian craftsmanship. Anyone who owns such a masterpiece possesses not only an object, but also a fragment of the artistic and cultural history of the 20th century.
