Executed using the iconic Sommerso (submerged) technique, this heavy, sculptural piece features a rich, glowing amber core suspended flawlessly inside a thick layer of crystal-clear glass.

Whether styled as a striking standalone table sculpture, a weighted paperweight, or used as a bud vase utilizing the small hollow depression at the cleft, this piece brings a warm, mid-century modern aesthetic to any interior.

DetailsTechnique: Authentic Sommerso glasswork with sharp, zero-bleed color layering. The "Gather Flow": The internal amber core gracefully tapers down into a central, uniform teardrop point, showcasing exceptional temperature control and mastery.

Base Finish: Features a wide, flat, ground and polished pontil base that allows the heart to sit perfectly stable on any flat surface.

Style Attribution: Inspired by the iconic mid-century designs of Flavio Poli for Seguso Vetri d’Arte (circa 1950s–1960s).

Unmarked, which is common for vintage Murano pieces that originally relied on paper or foil labels.
