A common technique in Murano is “Sommerso”, which means “submerged”. This technique is used to create several layers of glass inside a single object, giving the illusion of “immersed” colors that lay on top of each other without mixing. This technique is characterized by an outer layer of colorless glass and thick layers of colored glass inside, as if a big drop of color had been captured inside the transparent glass.
