Description: Murano Art Glass Sommerso Red Faceted Bowl. This is an unusual piece that I have had help narrowing down to either Flavio Polli or Mondrazado. It is more likely Mondrazado but there is no sticker or signature. It is masterfully crafted. I purchased this at a downsizing estate sale from an antique dealer who mostly dealt in glass and pottery. This was from his personal collection. This is a small faceted sommerso bowl. The lines are impeccable and the sommerso is incredibly precise. There is no major scratching even with the age on the piece but it does have two chips. Honestly, when I purchased this piece, I didn't even see them and they are not sharp at all. It took me picking it up and really looking under the lights to notice them. Because of all of the facets, it's almost like a diamond in the fact that the angles and sparkle take over. I have done my best to picture this from all angles including its flaws. I believe this does have a little uranium in it as it is a somewhat black light reactive. It does not glow like crazy, but it is a soft mild light green where the clear or just slightly yellowed glass is. Whatever happens to be in the glass, it is truly a stunning piece. If possible, it would be lovely to display this with light on it as even when the natural light comes in my window, it sparkles beautifully. 4⅞W x 3⅛L x 1½H 14 oz Note: Used condition.

About me: I graduated with a Bachelor's in Interior Design in '97. I worked in the field for 20 years successfully until having twins with medical issues. This necessitated my transition to a different kind of work and staying home with them. Recently, I have reignited my passion for design with my (mostly) vintage and antiques eBay business. I'm very small but I get to handle all aspects and make sure my customers are happy. I find it very fulfilling to find hidden treasures for others to enjoy! In a strange way, it keeps me in touch with my design roots and helps make a little money to participate in paying bills for my family. Thank you so much for looking and for your purchase, I do really appreciate you!
