Vintage Murano Grey Sommerso Glass Flower Sculpture c1980s
This Murano grey sommerso glass flower features a hand-blown slate-grey bloom with clear spiral stem, c1980s Italy. The elegant late 20th-century sculpture showcases the slate-grey sommerso colourway seen in many Murano pieces of the era, with six translucent petals formed in grey glass that fade into clear at the edges for a soft, smoky tonal effect.
The stem is crafted as a clear pulled spiral, adding movement and a sculptural flourish to the design. Each petal is shaped individually, giving the flower subtle organic variation — a hallmark of Murano studio craftsmanship. It displays beautifully on a shelf, desk or within a curated glass collection, especially when paired with other grey sommerso Murano works.
