Decorative ornament - Italy

Beautiful fish sculpture, carved entirely by hand by a renowned Murano glass master from the Tagliapietra family, using the chalcedony glass technique. Its distinctive colors come from the chalcedony method; the coloring effect is obtained by adding to the molten glass a mixture based on various metallic oxides. The results are incredible.
This particular technique was invented in Venice in the late 15th century but became famous only later.
Chalcedony glass is a special type of decorative glass obtained by mixing metals of different colors, mainly green and purple, to imitate semiprecious stones such as agate, chalcedony, onyx, malachite, lapis lazuli, and jasper.
