AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Sculpture created entirely by freehand by a renowned Murano master glassmaker from the Tagliapietra family using the chalcedony glass technique; its distinctive colors are due to the chalcedony technique; the coloring effect is obtained by adding to the molten glass a mixture based on various metallic oxides; the results are incredible.
This particular craftsmanship was invented in Venice in the late 15th century but only became famous later.
Chalcedony glass is a particular type of decorative glass obtained by mixing metals of different colors, mostly green and purple, to imitate semi-precious stones such as agate, chalcedony, onyx, malachite, lapis lazuli and jasper.

Object signed on the base in solid black glass, attached certificate, and fast insured shipping.
