Description from the seller

Glass Figurine Sommerso Asian Character Vintage 20 cm
Item description:
The auction item is a unique, collectible figurine depicting a figure in a traditional hat (oriental/Asian character).
Made from authentic Murano art glass from Italy.
The sculpture was created in the second half of the 20th century using the famous sommerso technique, which involves precisely submerging colored glass masses into crystal-clear colorless glass.
The figurine captivates with a deep, saturated fuchsia and purple hue, contrasting with the bold black elements of the hat and shoes.
Refined form and excellent play of light make this item a luxurious interior decor piece.
Item condition:
Excellent (office/display quality).
No chips, cracks, scratches, or signs of repair.
The glass retains its pristine luster and clarity.
The figurine has no signature or preserved paper label, which is a natural feature for many pieces from this period.
Dimensions:
Height: 20 cm
Width (at the widest point of the hat): approx. 10 cm
Depth: approx. 8 cm
Weight: approx. 0.8 kg
About the author and producer:

Known worldwide for masterful command of the sommerso technique and for creating sculptures with rounded, organic shapes that uniquely trap emotions and colors inside the glass mass.
