For your consideration is a stunning, mid-century modern Murano Sommerso Teardrop sculpture. This substantial piece stands at an impressive 11.5 inches and weighs approximately 4 lbs, offering a commanding presence for any serious glass collection. ​The sculptural features a masterful display of traditional Venetian techniques. The core is a brilliant, dense Gold Aventurine (Avventurina) field, shimmering with copper-gold flakes suspended within a Bullicante (controlled bubble) internal layer. This radiant core is submerged (sommerso) within a vibrant emerald green layer, all encased in thick clear glass and framed by dramatic amber/copper-toned "wings" that sweep upward toward the hand-pulled tip. While unmarked—consistent with many mid-century export pieces from the 1950s and 60s—the weight, scale, and high-quality use of gold aventurine are indicative of prestigious Murano furnaces such as Seguso Vetri d’Arte or Archimede Seguso. ​Excellent vintage condition with no chips, cracks, or repairs. ​Wear shown is commensurate with age; light, negligible surface scratches present on the base and wings, and visible only upon close ​Height: 11.5 inches ​Width: 6 inches ​Depth: 2.5 inches ​Weight: ~4 lbs
