Sculptural Murano art glass bowl or centerpiece in deep black glass, attributed to Flavio Poli for Seguso Vetri d’Arte , Murano, Italy, circa 1950s–1960s. This refined freeform work exemplifies the modernist design principles that defined Flavio Poli’s production during his association with Seguso Vetri d’Arte. The elongated, asymmetrical profile is characterized by a gently rising rim and fluid, continuous contours, creating a sense of motion while maintaining formal balance. The composition is anchored by a substantial, integrated pedestal base that emerges from a recessed central well, elevating the form and imparting a sculptural, architectural presence. The glass is executed in a rich, opaque black with exceptional depth and surface polish, allowing light to articulate the curves without distraction. Subtle variations along the rim and body reflect the hand-blown process and lend quiet individuality to the piece. The relationship between mass and negative space is deliberate and controlled, inviting viewing from multiple angles. Through close comparative study with documented Murano examples, the form, material treatment, and restrained monochrome palette align closely with works attributed to Flavio Poli from the mid-20th century. No signature or maker’s mark is present, as is typical of many Murano glass objects from this period; the piece is therefore offered as an attributed example. Equally compelling as a functional centerpiece or as a sculptural object, this work reflects the sophisticated restraint and material confidence that characterize high-quality Murano production of the era. A strong acquisition for collectors of Italian art glass and mid-century modern design. Please review all photographs carefully, as they form part of the description. Be sure to Condition: Used.
