Stunning mid century turquoise and gold Murano glass bowl, hand blown in Italy during 1960 and attributed to Archimede Seguso.
This piece is unique as made with the "Sommerso Bullicante" technique. “Sommerso”, which in Italian literally means “submerged” is a technique used to create several layers of glass (in this case with turquoise and gold as contrasting colors) inside a single object, giving the illusion of “immersed” colors. "Bullicante", which in Italian literally means "full of bubbles", means that the artist created inside the layers of glass a decoration made of small bubbles of air.
Archimede Seguso was an Italian glass manufacturer known for his intricate glass vases, necklaces, and sculptures. Spanning a wide range of forms and colors, his subject matter included animals and abstract shapes. Born in 1909 in Murano, Italy, he was part of an illustrious legacy of Italian glassmakers, their ancestry spanning over six centuries to the 14th century. Seguso notably led a revival of ancient Venetian glass-making techniques, specifically "filigrana", which produced lattice-like patterns. The Seguso company continues to produce glass, with works included in the collections of The Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. less
