Sommerso is a technique developed on the Italian island of Murano during the late 1930s. It typically has two layers of glass formed by dipping a ‘gather’ of colored glass into another molten glass and then blowing the gather into the desired shape. The result is glass with contrasting colours commonly encased by a clear layer.
