拍品專文

The sommerso technique was developed by Carlo Scarpa and it was first introduced at the XX Venice Biennale in 1934. Scarpa’s sense of plasticity is exemplified particularly well in the vessel presented here. The richness of texture and colour is obtained by overlaying coloured and clear glass, whilst the ribbing and the use of gold foil inclusions suggest a sense of movement.

Another example of this model can be found in the Steinberg Foundation Collection, Vaduz.
