Here is a Flavio Poli ,Green to yellow to clear sommerso Seguso Vetri D' Arte murano Vase.. Dating comes from pieces that where shown Designed By Poli and took the 'ARTE NUOVA MURANO, GRAND PRIZE,at the Worlds Fair in Brussels in 1958.Capitalizing on the sommerso design and color combination this collection of Poli's was produced from 1958 until the beginning of 1960.
Poli was artistic director at SVDA from 1937 until 1963
Piece measures at 9 1/2" tall
This came from the couple that I have been buying murano pieces from lately.

Hi i love this piece you have and noticed it has some similarities to a piece that i have your pieces signature was SVDA ... I have been researching mine for months and cannot be sure of the signature ... Have you ever seen SSDA? I have many assumptions and it is carved on the bottom with the number 981 beside it....... I have the Valva vase in the color ruby/blue. from 1954 bought in 1967 it stands .14 cm high.... thank you in advance!
Just adding a comment here as we have seen several people linking to this post in order to attribute their vase as Flavio Poli. The description is wrong for two reasons. Firstly, the label mentioned in the description is not a Seguso label, it was used by a factory that was called either "Arte Nuova" or "Pustetto & Zanetti" (information is sketchy). Flavio Poli had nothing to do with this factory. Secondly, although this vase has similarities with one of their designs, there are differences. the OP doesn't show a base shot, but other people who linked to this post, with identical vases, all had a frosted/matt base finish, which indicates Chinese production.
The following link gives more info about these Arte Nuova vases, and many pictures for comparison:
