Mid-Century Modern Amethyst Sommerso Art Glass Bud Vase

A fine example of mid-century modern art glass, this bud vase features a slender, elongated form typical of the 1950s and 60s design aesthetic. It is constructed using the signature 'Sommerso' (submerged) technique, characterized by a deep amethyst or dark plum core encased in a thick layer of clear, colorless glass. The vase stands approximately 8 to 10 inches tall with a weighted, bulbous base that tapers into a long, slender neck, terminating in a subtly flared and trilobed rim. The base is expertly finished with a polished flat surface, showing a clear transition where the colored core meets the thick transparent exterior. Physically, the glass appears to be in excellent condition with no visible chips, cracks, or flea bites on the rim or body. The interior of the glass remains clear without signs of clouding or calcium buildup. While no maker's mark or signature is visible in the photograph, the style, high-quality execution, and teardrop color suspension are highly indicative of Murano craftsmanship (such as Seguso or Mandruzzato) or high-end Scandinavian production from the mid-20th century. The piece exhibits a consistent flow of color and heavy glass weight, signaling premium quality.
