We recently came across the untouched inventory of a Venetian shop that closed in the 1990s. Every piece is genuine vintage, some still bearing their original price tags in old Italian lire.
The glass is beautiful and in excellent condition, as it was carefully packed away for decades. Condition Excellent, no chips or cracks.
Please check the photos for details of each item. Where possible, we’ve kept the original label—even if it’s faded or partly hidden.
We are specialized in vintage lighting and Murano glass sculptures made in Italy and we have hundreds of items made by the greatest Italian manufacturers from the 60s onwards: Leucos, Effetre, Mazzega, Vistosi, Stilnovo, Arredoluce, Arteluce, Fontana Arte or other smaller, less known but very high quality factories.

FOR BIDDERS OUTSIDE THE EUROPEAN UNION: The piece is located in Italy and perhaps the buyer will have to pay import taxes, which have varying amounts depending on the country of purchase.
SHIPMENT DAMAGE: We guarantee extremely professional packaging to preserve the goods. Sometimes damage may occur: if this is the case, please take a picture of the broken piece in the packaging and email it to us immediately.

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...
