Genuine Vintage 1970s Murano / Venetian Encased / Sommerso Uranium Art Glass Vase

This decorative vintage Murano / Venetian Sommerso / encased Uranium Art Glass Vase from the 1970s is an original, handmade, hand-blown piece in the Mid-Century Modern style.

The vase features a vibrant red outer layer with a distinct yellow core, characteristic of Sommerso glass, and exhibits a luminous quality under UV light due to its uranium content. The condition is good, with some minor signs of age and surface wear. Specific condition details are as follows:

• Scroll Handle: The tip of its scroll handle is lost (see photos).

• Side Blemish: A small bump/graze is present on the side curve just above the base (see photos).

Both noted issues are hardly visible when the vase is on display. It is extremely fluorescent, especially when illuminated with a bright U/V or black light source.

Dimensions:

• Height: Just over 6" (15.5 cm)

• Width: Just over 5.25" (13.5 cm) at its widest point (just above the base)

• Weight: Approximately 836 grams (1 lb 13.5 oz)

Please note: The thimble shown in some photos is for scale demonstration only
