Mandruzzato was founded in 1956 on the island of Murano, Venice, Italy, by Luigi Mandruzzato. In 1965 Luigi was joined by his son, Gianfranco Mandruzzato, who took over the running of the company two years later. At first the company made glass lighting fixtures, and then began producing ornaments, vases, ashtrays, etc. The firm is now run by Gianfranco's son Alessandro Mandruzzato.
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.
