Both pieces bear the Murano mark, reinforcing their identity as Venetian glass objects and confirming their place within the artistic glassmaking tradition of the island.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Italian term Sommerso, meaning \"submerged,\" describes a technique in which contrasting layers of colored glass are superimposed and contained within one another without fully blending. The result is extraordinary visual depth: light passes through the layers, reflects along their edges, and produces subtle variations of color and transparency depending on the angle from which each piece is viewed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis technique gained particular recognition in Murano during the 1950s and 1960s, at the height of Italian mid-century design, when glassmakers explored sculptural forms, solid volumes, polished surfaces, and layered color combinations that transformed decorative objects into small works of art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fumé gray tone gives these bases a restrained, architectural, and highly versatile presence. Their partial transparency and substantial forms allow them to function both as independent sculptural objects and as elements within a decorative arrangement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSold as a pair. Condition: Good. Dimensions: 7.5 in H x 4.5 in W x 2 in D and 7 in H x 4 in W x 2 in D.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Regiment of Love","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":50553710280943,"sku":"LU10969251495282","price":506.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/0613\/7327\/files\/IMG_9102_bg_processed.jpg?v=1787225547","url":"https:\/\/regimentoflove.com\/products\/pair-of-mid-century-murano-sommerso-glass-bases-in-fume-gray","provider":"Regiment of Love","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
