Mid-Century Modern Murano-Style Sommerso Art Glass Jack-in-the-Pulpit Vase

This is an elegant Mid-Century Modern sculptural art glass vase, designed in the iconic 'Jack-in-the-Pulpit' or 'Calla Lily' floral form. The vessel stands as a tall, slender bud vase featuring a deep purple or amethyst core encased within a thick layer of clear glass, utilizing the sophisticated Italian 'Sommerso' (submerged) technique. The construction begins with a wide, bulbous trefoil or four-lobed base that provides stability, transitioning into a narrow, elongated fluted body. The rim is artistically pulled and shaped into three distinct petals, with one tall rear petal and two smaller side petals, mimicking a blooming flower. The glass exhibits a high degree of clarity and brilliance, typical of leaded crystal or high-quality soda-lime glass. While no specific maker's marks or signatures are visible in the image, the style and craftsmanship are highly reminiscent of 1950s-1970s Murano glass (Italy) or similar work by Chalet (Canada) and Viking (USA). The condition appears excellent with no visible chips, cracks, or heavy scratching; the base shows natural polishing indicative of hand-finished production. The internal purple color provides a dramatic contrast against the thick clear casing, showcasing the fluid, organic lines characteristic of the period's biomorphic design trends.
