A large and heavy Cenedese, Murano art glass vase manufactured in green and blue sommerso glass. The vase features a large air bubble in the massive base. Most probably designed by Antonio Da Ros. Manufactured around 1960.

In 1946, Gino Cenedese founded the company Cenedese & Co. with master glassblowers Alfredo Barbini, Gino Fort, Angelo Tosi and Pietro Scaramal. After the partners left the company in 1949, Cenedese worked with freelance designers and artists, including Fulvio Bianconi, Riccardo Licata, Napoleone Martinuzzi, Ermanno Nason and the painter Luigi Scarpa Croce. In 1959 Antonio Da Ros became artistic director. He frequently designed pieces using the Sommerso technique, often with green “uranium” glass, which shines brightly in ultraviolet light. The manufactory became famous for its aquarium sculptures - large clear glass blocks filled with floating fish and algae. They were originally designed by Alfredo Barbini and later continued by Riccardo Licata. Gino Cenedese died in 1973. The company is still run today under the name Ars Cenedese.
