AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Murano glass sculpture – Stylized cat – Italy, second half of the 20th century

Elegant decorative sculpture depicting a stylized cat, made of Murano glass. The piece is executed in deep blue satin glass, with parts in opal glass and details applied hot (eyes, nose and tongue), typical of the Murano tradition.

The artisanal craftsmanship is evident in the fluid shaping of the forms and in the quality of the glass, which creates delicate plays of light and transparency. The design, ironic and modern, is traceable to Murano production from the second half of the twentieth century, a period much appreciated by collectors.

The body bears an original label “Artistic Glass”, partially preserved, consistent with Murano artistic glass productions intended for export.
