Flavio Poli (1900–1984) was the artistic director for Seguso Vetri d’Arte from 1934 to 1963, where he popularized the sommerso (“submerged”) technique. This method involves layering different colors of glass to create a “suspended” effect without the colors mixing.
Authentic lamps from this 1950s–1960s period often feature organic shapes like teardrops or spheres and may include aventurine (gold fleck) inclusions.
Original glass is excellent with no chips or cracks. Emerald green enameled base is original with some slight wear/imperfections as shown. Professionally rewired. Brass fixtures and finial are original. Original Patina.
