Description from the seller
Murano Artistic Glass paperweight - cobalt blue with a flower and butterfly – 1970s
A small masterpiece of glass art that encloses a 'night garden', the piece stands out for its intense, deep cobalt-blue background, which magnificently highlights the naturalistic scene encapsulated inside.
In the center of the composition rises a large flower, its petals shaded between blue and white with a vibrant yellow center. To adorn the scene, delicately perched on the green leaves, we find a butterfly crafted with great skill in shades of red and black, adding a touch of liveliness and movement to the whole.
The details are meticulous, and the internal illumination work creates a very evocative three-dimensional effect.
An ideal piece to enrich a collection of paperweights or as a refined gift for lovers of art glass.
