AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Grand sculpture of a cat in artistic Murano glass – second half of the 20th century – H 35 cm
Important and scenographic sculpture depicting a seated cat, entirely created in hand-worked artistic glass.
The body features an intense amber-colored glass, combined with large masses of transparent glass. The muzzle has numerous hot-applied elements: turquoise and white eyes, black nose, white whiskers, and mouth red/purple.
Particularly refined is the large black bow decorated with golden inclusions, applied to the neck.
The sculpture measures about 35 cm in height and is a sizeable object, heavy and with a strong decorative presence.
For technical characteristics, colors, and craftsmanship, the piece is compatible with the tradition of Murano artistic glass from the second half of the 20th century. As there is no legible signature or intact label, the manufacture is not attributed to a specific glassworks.
On the bottom there is still a small residue of the old original label.
