Sommerso meaning “submerged” in Italian, is a traditional glassblowing technique that encases layers of color within clear glass to create a luminous, dimensional effect. In this piece, the method is interpreted with a painterly softness—fluid layers of color captured within a sculptural silhouette. The forms reference flattened versions of classic cylinders and teardrops, grounded by a thick sham base and weighty walls that give the vase a pleasing presence in the hand. Each is individually handblown and signed by the artist. Subtle variations in size and detail are part of the beauty of the handmade process.

• This one had a small blemish in the color. It has a small piece of ceramic in the glass.
