Bio:
Murano glass from the 1950s and 60s is renowned for advanced techniques such as sommerso, where layers of coloured glass are submerged within clear crystal to create depth and luminous effects. The period saw masters like Seguso, Barbini and Mandruzzato push technical and artistic boundaries, resulting in sculptural forms and vivid colour combinations highly sought after by collectors today.
