AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Splendid vintage glass art sculpture, carved from solid glass, depicting a swordfish captured in a dynamic, darting motion above a sea rock in textured transparent glass. The creature's body features an intense ocean-blue and turquoise coloration, which gracefully fades into the crystal-clear transparency of the fins and the majestic elongated tail. A decorative piece of great visual elegance, ideal for enriching marine-themed collections or as a refined interior design accessory. Style: Vintage / Marine Decor / Mid-Century
Excellent condition. The sculpture is perfectly preserved, with the beak and the tail tips entirely intact. No chips or restorations.
Seller's Story
For over 20 years, I have dedicated myself passionately to the search for and trading of special, rare, curious objects from any era.
Every piece I select has something that catches my attention: it can be the shape, the story, the unusual aspect, or simply that detail that makes it unique.
I am always searching for objects that speak, that tell something to those who know how to listen.
I choose them carefully, photograph them honestly, and describe them as accurately as possible.
Selling on this Catawiki to share this passion with those who, like me, love to surround themselves with things with a soul.
