Masterful Venetian glassmaking with timeless sculptural appeal

Created by Flavio Poli, one of the most influential figures in twentieth-century Murano glass design, this exceptional art glass object embodies the elegance, innovation, and craftsmanship for which Venetian glassmaking is renowned. Produced in Italy during the 1970s, it reflects the designer’s distinctive approach to form, light, and color.

Crafted in Murano glass, the piece demonstrates the extraordinary technical skill of the island’s master glassmakers. Its sculptural presence is enhanced by the way light passes through and interacts with the material, revealing subtle variations in transparency, depth, and tone. From every angle, the object offers a different visual experience, making it equally compelling as a decorative accent or collectible work of art.

Flavio Poli is celebrated for his modern interpretation of traditional Murano techniques, creating works that bridge artistic expression and refined design. This piece exemplifies that legacy, combining elegant simplicity with a strong visual identity.
