MONUMENTAL MURANO Freeform Cased SOMMERSO Glass Vase with Label - Possibly Fratelli Toso

Sorry, this item has sold.

You're looking at a HUGE and utterly spectacular sommerso (submerged) Murano glass vase very similar to a Fratelli Toso design. The yellow label is a common generic for mid-latter 20th century Murano glass, but I've also seen this label on recognizable Fratelli Toso pieces, so it adds little definitive information as to the maker. Our incredible piece stands 20" tall, has a wingspan of about 8.5", and weighs something like 11 lbs. So this is one big hunk of COLOR, beginning with the bright AMETHYST/pink mouth and moving into deeper purples as it blends with the blue glass closer to the base. The "wings" are mostly clear with a light blue tint.


DIMENSIONS: 20" x ~8.5" in widest diameter
CONDITION: Excellent vintage, expected wear to base and the occasional bubble in the glass.

Frequently Asked Questions

Custom and personalized orders

GLASSpheme loves custom orders! But how do we 'customize' vintage glass? Simple. We love glass and we love our customers--and there are many ways we can help!

1) Volume discounts: Let's say there are several pieces you MUST have. Let me know, and I'll send you our very best price for the lot.

2) Custom displays: Say you have a special place in your home that SCREAMS for a glass display. Send me a photo of the space, your budget, and the accent colors for your room, and we'll send you photographs of possible groupings and our special pricing for the lot.

3) Tell us what groupings you have in mind, and we'll photograph them together for you so you can see how they'll look together.

Gift wrapping and packaging

What could be better than giving a gorgeous piece of vintage glass as a gift? (Aside from getting one, that is.) Glass is beautiful and functional--mostly! Consider a super mod biomorphic bowl or cased glass jar for a vanity or dresser, a platter/centerpiece for fruit on a countertop, or a vase for cut flowers. Not only does vintage glass bring exquisite delight to the most mundane of household functions (you should see our soap dishes), but our beauties increase in value over time. Send us a note telling us your purchase is a gift, and we will send it along with your personalized gift card, colorful tissue paper and a bow. (You alone will receive the receipt by email.)

Can I Select Custom Arrival Dates?

GLASSpheme ships your purchase on the very next business day, but we're flexible too! If you're going away on vacation or have a special date you'd like your gift to arrive, send us a note, and we'll time our shipping for you!

How can I get coupons for your shop and be informed of sales?

Simple! Join the GLASSpheme mailing list! Paste this link in your browser, send us your email address, and VOILA--you'll be among the first to know when your favorite piece of glass is on sale, or when we're offering coupons.

Very nice vase and heavy. But lovely. And arrived in one piece.
