Beautiful Set of Two Large Murano Glass Birds (Sommerso) – Attributed to Rubelli Vetri d’Arte

Special and impressive set of two large Murano glass birds, masterfully executed in the characteristic sommerso technique with rich shades of green and amber, beautifully complemented by a gold finish. The sculptures have elegant, flowing forms and are provided with striking, tall and graceful tails that ensure a chic silhouette.

According to connoisseurs, this style and quality are attributed to the renowned Rubelli Vetri d’Arte (1960s). A true eye-catcher for lovers of mid-century Italian design. The birds have been identified as Rubelli Vetri d’Arte by specialists and connoisseurs in a Facebook group called Murano Glass Animals. They are dedicated to sharing decades of accumulated knowledge, identifying Murano pieces, and cataloging well-known and lesser-known items made in Murano.
