Vibrant shades of blue and aquamarine come alive in this Murano Glass Seal sculpture, evoking the dreamy azure blue waters of the Venetian Lagoon. Lovingly crafted by third-generation Murano Glass artisans whose Murano-based workshop is a magnet for interior designers worldwide, this Murano Sommerso Seal is a wonderful decorative piece and a perfect reminder of Venice. The play of the different shades of blue within translucent glass is inspired by water, which sparkles with different hues under the gentle morning sun. Murano masters were able to recreate these fleeting impressions thanks to the clever use of Sommerso glass-making technique. In Sommerso threads of colored glass are layered on top of each other without intermixing, leading to unique chromatic effects. Lighthearted, elegant, and unique, this Murano Glass seal is a rare artistic treat for anyone who loves Italian design, fine craftsmanship, and the dreamy atmosphere of Venice.

Larger Murano Glass figures and sculptures are typically made in the ancient factories on Murano island, where there is enough space to turn, twist, and blow the glass, move it into and out of the large furnaces, and cool it down properly. Making the glass mixture with the right color intensity and pattern is only a part of the job. The biggest challenge is shaping the glass just perfectly while keeping it in the correct state in between the bench and the furnace. This requires special skills rarely found outside of Murano Glass artist and artisan community. These Murano Glass sculptures of lovers, Venetian ladies and gentlemen, clowns, abstract art, animals and birds crafted in well-known Murano factories are top-quality art glass pieces sought after by interior decor specialists and collectors alike.
