Description
This form was popularized by the famous Murano, Italy maker Mandruzzato. This example is in amethyst, yellow and clear. 8 inches tall. The edges are crisp and the crystal is very clear. It is 8 inches tall. It is made using the sommerso technique — an amethyst layer of glass encased in yellow, then in clear glass as visibly indicated in the base. It is a five-sided 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. Flawless. A few small bubbles or inclusions.
