Mid-Century Murano Style Cranberry and Green Sommerso Art Glass Vase

This is a hand-blown art glass vase featuring a vibrant cranberry red or pink hue that transitions into a subtle green base, characteristic of the 'Sommerso' technique. The vase exhibits a distinctive petal-like or tulip shell form with a heavily ruffled, scalloped rim. The body is textured with elegant vertical swirl ribbing that adds depth and catch-lights to the translucent glass. This piece appears to be in the style of Mid-Century Modern Italian glass, possibly from the Venetian island of Murano. The construction shows high-quality craftsmanship, with a thick, heavy base for stability and a smooth finish on the organic, curvilinear edges. The base is pinched into several small feet in a green glass application, further emphasizing the floral motif. Regarding condition, the glass retains a high degree of clarity and luster without visible clouding or significant surface scratches. There are no obvious chips, cracks, or repairs visible in the photograph, though the bottom may show light shelf wear consistent with age. Pieces like this typically date from the 1950s to the 1970s and were favored for their bold use of color and sculptural Presence.
