White fish.
Hand-blown artistic glass with gold leaf/powder inclusions (details in zanfirico or golden aventurine glass) embedded in the glass body.
It presents an internal filigree or fritto lattice pattern in milk glass (milky white) enclosed in the transparent glass, creating a lace-like effect across the main body.
Fins, tail and dorsal crest are made of amber/golden translucent glass applied hot, with white glass details applied around the mouth and small dark glass eyes.

Puffer fish.
Desk accessory shaped like a Murano glass fish with gold leaf, made by Murano Glass.
The surface of the body features a sparkling golden effect obtained by fusing 24-karat gold leaf into the hot glass mass before blowing or shaping.
The floral and colorful details visible on the body (such as the blue, red and white motif in detail) are sections of worked glass cane, called murrine, embedded in the molten glass during the shaping.
The fins and tail are shaped hot with tweezers and manual tools, showing the typical artisanal grooves.
Eyes and protruding mouth are applied separately.
