Luciano Gaspari for Salviati 1950's Green Sommerso Vase

Glass : Murano Glass : Salviati Sommerso Vase

 

This is one of two Salviati sommerso vases that were found together in the same estate. I believe they are early designs of Luciano Gaspari and date from the early to mid 1950's. The other one has the original Salviati & C. label... They are both in my store presently and they are both in very good condition with no chips or cracks, dings etc... The original owner scratched off what looks like the original shop label and the outline of the label as well as some light scratches can still be seen in the bottom along with the typical wear scratches.

This vase has green interior sommerso in a light blue glass and stands 4" inches high and is 3 1/2" inches wide.

A great eames era form with clean lines and complimentary colors. Later designs by Gaspari were drawn out and elongated with less color coordination.

These are very scarce items!

Thanks for taking a look.
