Description
This form was popularized by the famous Murano, Italy maker Mandruzzato. This example is in a subtle pale pink-orange. The edges are crisp and the crystal is very clear. It is almost 9 inches tall. It is made using the sommerso technique — a colored layer of glass encased in clear glass as visibly indicated in the foot of the vase. It is a square shape at the mouth that expands into a multi-sided shape cut into faceted planes. This design catches the light thereby appearing differently depending on the setting.
