Vintage Sommerso Geode Red, Yellow and Clear Glass with Dimples","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a lovely collectable Sommerso geode Italian glass bowl. It is in just excellent clean condition with no signs of use and no damage of any kind.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt dates to the 1960s and it is attributed to Ferro Galliano (it has no original label but many of these are without label so it more than probably by Galliano). It is one of his sommerso dimpled geode bowls and has a total of 18 round (and rather deep) dimples.  It is a heavy piece of glass and weight some 1.7 kg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bowl has a scarlet red central reservoir which is cased with a thin layer of bright yellow glass and then the thick clear outer layer (with the dimples around the base). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHISTORY: Galliano Ferro formed his own glass factory (\u003cspan\u003eVetreria Artistica Galliano Ferro) \u003c\/span\u003ein 1955 after leaving Arte Vetraria Muranese, or AVEM (A.Ve.M.), which he co-founded in 1932. Designers at Galliano Ferro include his son Giorgio Ferro, Ezio Rizzetto, Fulvio Bianconi and Vinicio Vianello. Giorgio Ferro became head of the company in 1972. British importers Jaffe Rose are known to have imported some of their work, applying their own \"Jaffe Rose, Murano Glass\" import labels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI love these little geometric chunky bowls. This one is a more collectable one. and in just lovely condition. It has no damages. It is listed at a fair price given its size and the skill required to make it. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt has been a little tricky to photograph with all the angles in this piece - any white marks in my photographs are not on the glass - but are simply reflections. It certainly looks much better in \"real life\" than in my photographs. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a fine addition to any collection of sommerso glass.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt will be sent to you with Royal Mail Tracked (Medium Parcel) post. This will be applied to your order at the checkout. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Iconic Edinburgh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55669945467259,"sku":"9\/8\/2025 West Castle","price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0271\/1902\/6240\/files\/1960s-ferro-galliano-murano-heavy-glass-bowl-vintage-sommerso-geode-red-yellow-and-clear-with-dimples-european-398.webp?v=1785395646","url":"https:\/\/www.iconicedinburgh.co.uk\/products\/1960s-ferro-galliano-murano-bowl-vintage-sommerso-geode-red-yellow-clear-glass-dimples","provider":"Iconic Edinburgh","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
