Vintage 1970s Amber Murano Sommerso Glass Bud Vase Striking vintage Murano glass bud vase, dating to approximately the 1970s, showcasing the beautiful Sommerso technique. This distinctive Italian glassmaking technique creates a layered effect by encasing one or more colors within clear glass, resulting in the vase’s eye-catching amber-and-clear appearance. The vase features a tall, rectangular clear glass body with a warm amber-colored inner form suspended within the center. The combination of transparent and colored glass creates beautiful depth and dimension, giving this piece a sculptural quality even when displayed without flowers. Its compact 7-inch height makes it ideal for a single stem or small arrangement, but its unusual form and layered construction also make it a wonderful standalone decorative object for an MCM or vintage glass collection.
