Description

View Vintage Murano Sommerso Geode Glass Bowl Red Yellow Uranium UV Glow 4.5" MCM with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. The base shows normal, age-appropriate shelf wear. These are original, factory-popped air bubbles from the hand-blowing process and are standard for mid-century Murano art glass from this era. Up for sale is a stunning, heavy vintage mid-century modern art glass geode bowl (often used as an ashtray). Crafted using the classic Venetian sommerso (submerged) technique, this piece features a rich, deep red center encased in a vibrant yellow/lime outer layer. As shown in the photos, the outer glass layer reacts with a brilliant lime-green fluorescence under UV light, indicating the presence of manganese or uranium commonly found in vintage Italian glass compositions from this era. * Origin: Murano, Italy (Style of Archimede Seguso / Cenedese) * Era: Circa 1950s / 1960s * Technique: Sommerso Cased Glass * Colors: Deep Red / Burgundy and Yellow-Green (UV Reactive Glow) * Dimensions: 4.5 inches (Length) x 3.25 inches (Width) x 1.5 inches (Height) Condition: Excellent vintage condition.
