About the Item
A sculptural mid-century glass bowl attributed to Paul Kedelv for Flygfors, Sweden, likely produced in the 1960s. Characterised by a sweeping, organic silhouette, the form evokes both movement and balance—its curved profile rising asymmetrically from a compact, rounded base.
The bowl is executed in a deep plum-toned glass, enclosed within a thick casing of clear crystal using the sommerso technique. The effect is one of suspended colour—rich, fluid, and dimensional. The central reservoir of purple pools into the form, framed by the clear edge like a frozen wave or folded ribbon.
Measuring approximately 16 cm wide, 12 cm deep, and 12 cm high, the bowl remains in very good vintage condition with only light signs of age and use. Functional as a vide-poche or centerpiece, and equally compelling displayed as a sculptural object.
A fine example of Swedish modernist glass, merging decorative utility with expressive form.

Murano Neodymium Sommerso Glass Shell, Flavio Poli for Seguso, Italy, 1960s
By Seguso Vetri d
Arte, Flavio Poli
Located in Glasgow, GB
A collectible Murano glass conch shell, attributed to the work of Flavio Poli for Seguso Vetri d'Arte, crafted in Italy during the 1960s. This decorative shell exemplifies Poli’s mastery of the sommerso technique—a hallmark of mid-century Murano glass, where translucent layers of coloured glass are submerged within one another to create rich tonal depth.
Shaped as a spiral conch shell, the piece features rare neodymium-infused sommerso glass. Its purple base subtly shifts to blue under different lighting conditions—a distinctive property of neodymium—and is balanced by a soft pink interior at the shell’s opening. This optical variation makes it a dynamic object under natural and artificial light, characteristic of collectible Murano neodymium...
