AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Marcolin / FM Konstglas M501 – Fumato Glass Bird
Elegant Scandinavian art glass sculpture depicting a stylised bird, designed by Josef Marcolin for FM Konstglas / Marcolin.
The sculpture is characterised by its distinctive Fumato glass technique, with a richly textured body filled with numerous trapped bubbles and organic, pebble-like formations. The transparent glass creates beautiful internal reflections and subtle colour refractions, while the smooth head and flowing silhouette contrast with the highly textured body.
A particularly attractive example of Scandinavian art glass, combining sculptural simplicity with the impressive craftsmanship and visual depth characteristic of Marcolin’s work.
