Murano - Sculpture, Zwanen - 19 cm - Glass - 1960

A beautiful and rare vintage glass art object of two swans, handmade on the famous island of Murano in Venice, Italy. This sculpture dates from the 1950s-1960s and is executed in the characteristic style of the renowned glass artist Archimede Seguso.
The sculpture shows two gracefully intertwined swans in a delicate pink hue, elegantly enveloped with a clear glass layer via the 'sommerso' technique.
The wings are gracefully spread in contrasting clear glass. The piece rests on a heavy, organically textured rock-like base of solid clear glass, which provides a striking light effect. This specific piece is unique because it still bears the original authentic gold factory sticker on the chest: "Murano Made in Italy".
A beautiful collectable for enthusiasts of mid-century Italian design and high-quality art glass.
