Vase by Mario Pinzoni (1927–1993) for Seguso Vetri d’Arte Murano, Italy.
Designed in 1966 and referenced in the Seguso Vetri d’Arte archives under model no. 13859, this vase is distinguished by its cylindrical neck terminating in a wide flared rim and exemplifies Mario Pinzoni’s refined interpretation of the sommerso technique.
Executed in the Rubino Violetto colour variant, the ruby-red body is deeply submerged within a luminous violet glass mass, creating remarkable depth and subtle optical effects that showcase the exceptional technical mastery of Seguso Vetri d’Arte.
Combining refined proportions with the purity of its sculptural silhouette, this vase perfectly embodies the sophisticated chromatic research developed by Mario Pinzoni for Seguso Vetri d’Arte during the 1960s.
