Description from the seller

This hand-blown fruit bowl—a classic Murano tabletop design—seamlessly merges a swan sculpture with a vessel. Artisans shape and stretch the glass at high temperatures to form the swan's elegantly curved neck; the pink-toned glass body features delicate colored striations, a red beak, and black eye accents, creating a soft, lifelike silhouette. The rim is sculpted into undulating, layered petal forms with a subtle golden wash, supported by a substantial, rounded base.
Suitable for holding small items or fruit, it makes an ideal display piece for dining tables or cabinets.
Tiny, naturally occurring air bubbles from the hand-firing process are visible within the glass, and slight firing marks appear on the surface; there are no chips or deep cracks.
