Looking at these elegant Sommerso Murano glass vases, you’d assume they were contemporary- but they were actually made in Italy in the 1950s. They are available from the antiques and collectibles store Talisman, which was set up in Dorset 25 years ago and now takes up three floors of a showroom in Fulham, west London. You can go online to buy, but if you get the chance, drop into the store for a masterclass on how to blend furniture and accessories from the 18th and mid-20th centuries.
