Vintage Seguso Sommerso Murano Style Glass Clam Shell Bowl

Sculptural Murano glass clam shell bowl, circa 1950s, attributed to Seguso Vetri d’Arte and possibly designed by Flavio Poli. Hand-blown using the sommerso technique, the bowl features layers of rich olive green, golden yellow, and amber glass that shift in color with the light. Its dramatic biomorphic form is defined by a rounded central body and sweeping, folded wings that curl outward to create a fluid shell-like silhouette. Both functional and highly sculptural, the piece is a striking example of postwar Murano glass design. 6.5 x 4.5 x 4 inches

Faint scratches to flat base consistent with age.
