AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Immerse yourself in the world of exquisite design with this large, mouth-blown Murano figurine, crafted between 1960 and 1969. The detailed depiction of a seagull, made from high-quality transparent glass with gold inclusions, embodies the traditional Somerso technique and stands as a testament to Venetian craftsmanship. Decorative and stylish, this art glass piece is an exclusive addition to any collection or an elegant decorative element. Italy, Murano — a name synonymous with excellence in glass art, and this piece is no exception. The figurine is 40 cm tall and approximately 15 cm wide. It weighs just under 2100 grams. There is an illegible signature on the bottom. The figurine has a tiny, barely visible chip at the very tip of one wing, otherwise it is undamaged (see photo).
