AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Pair of Italian art glass sculptures / Murano – Bird & Dolphin – 1960s/70s
Description:
I am offering for sale a pair of art glass sculptures, probably of Italian origin, possibly Murano, dating likely from the 1960s–1970s.
These sculptures feature unusually original craftsmanship: depending on the orientation, the form evokes a bird or a dolphin. The glass base recalls a wave, with blue and green glass fused into the transparent glass.
Dimensions:
Height: approximately 35 cm
Length on the base: approximately 21 cm
Depth: approximately 15 cm
Attribution: creator unidentified.
No signature or label. I therefore do not present the Murano attribution as certain.
Condition: one of the sculptures has a chip/break on the beak. This defect is photographed and must be taken into account when purchasing. A professional restoration could possibly be considered.
Original piece in its design and interesting for a collector of Italian art glass of the 20th century.
