This is an exceptional example of Mid-Century Modern Murano art glass, specifically a large-scale Triple Sommerso (submerged) vase. Standing at 13 inches, the piece features a sophisticated "pulled feather" or "flamed" exterior in vibrant lapis blue and citrine yellow, which cases a distinct inner core of deep ruby red. The presence of a rare hand-etched signature inside the neck—characteristic of high-end masters like Vincenzo Nason or Galliano Ferro—elevates this from a decorative object to a verified collector's piece. Despite minor age-related wear on the base, its substantial weight, smooth-ground finish, and complex color layering mark it as an authentic work of Italian craftsmanship from the 1960s or 70s.
