AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Title Proposal:
Murano - Table Lamp - Opal Glass - Italy
A truly stunning, hand-blown and handmade glass table lamp in the shape of a leaping fish (often described as a dolphin in the Murano tradition).
This piece is a beautiful example of Italian craftsmanship. The glass has a refined, milky white texture with a subtle relief reminiscent of scales, which creates a very atmospheric glow when the lamp is lit. The fins are made of clear/matte satin glass, providing a striking contrast with the body.
Key features:
• Condition: The lamp is in excellent condition with no visible damage to the glass.
• Technique: Fully hand-formed (blown and shaped in the furnace).
• Modernization: The lamp has been fully rewired according to current safety standards, while preserving the authentic appearance.
• Extras: Includes a new, matching lampshade (still in protective wrap).
Dimensions:
• Height: 33 cm (to the top of the socket)
• Depth: 19 cm
• Width: 11 cm (between the fins)
Professionally packed and shipped with great care
