AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Set of 5 sculptures depicting turtles in Murano glass, transparent glass and porcelain, so divided as follows:

1 Murano glass turtle with a Medusa of remarkable dimensions, handmade sculpture characterized by a body in amber/brown and by a distinctive decorative "medusa" effect enclosed inside the transparent shell, with a hand-engraved signature "Murano". Weight 2.445 kg. H 15 cm. LxL 27x21 cm.

1 Sculpture in the shape of a turtle, finely carved from a block of natural amethyst, characterized by violet shades and incised details. A semiprecious stone characterized by the typical violet hues and natural crystal veining. Weight 0.524 kg. H 6 cm. LxL 10.5 x 6.5 cm.

1 Transparent crystal turtle, a collectible object and a well-known decorative element linked to the traditions of Feng Shui and Vastu. The crystal turtle symbolizes longevity, financial stability, peace and prosperity, and is often used as a good luck charm to harmonize the energy of home or office environments. This specific geometric and faceted design corresponds to vintage models produced by historic glass and crystal makers, such as the famous French line Cristal d'Arques or the artistic craftsmanship of Royal Art. Weight 0.200 kg. H 5 cm. LxL 11.2 x 7.8 cm.

1 Blown glass turtle, made with the artistic technique of submerged glass that creates a splendid cobalt blue gradient enclosed inside a transparent layer. This type of imported art objects is typical of the Murano glassmaking tradition (famous for historic marks and master artisans such as Seguso or V. Nason). Weight 0.214 kg. H 5.5 cm. LxL 7.5 x 6.5 cm.

1 Decorative porcelain turtle signed Gattinoni, a famous Italian fashion house also renowned for its refined collections dedicated to objets d’art and home decor. The base bears the brand logo and a holographic sticker that guarantees authenticity and quality production. Weight 0.160 kg. H 5.5 cm. LxL 12.5 x 9.3 cm.
