Description from the seller

Lot of 4 vintage sculptures in artistic glass – Elegant Set of Murano Glass Swans

Refined lot consisting of four vintage sculptures in art glass, characterized by warm handcrafted glass-working that recalls the great twentieth-century manufacturing tradition (Murano style/Glass Artists). The set includes three finely shaped swan figures and one sculpture with a swan and a flower-shaped vase.

1. Swan Vase Sculpture in Amber Color:
A scenographic work in two-tone glass. It features a stylized swan in warm amber and dark brown tones that blend elegantly with a goblet-shaped vase in a lily/hosta form. The dark, glossy base provides stability and a magnificent color contrast.
2. Large Swan in Transparent Glass:
Elegant centerpiece or catch-all in solid, completely transparent hand-sculpted glass, with a long, sinuous neck and an open fan-shaped tail.
3. Pair of Small Swans in Transparent Glass:
Two graceful coordinated pieces in solid, transparent glass, perfect as decorative elements symmetrically or as luxury place cards. The base features a textured surface that magnificently refracts light.
All pieces exhibit extraordinary brilliance and light refraction, typical of artistic works entirely made by hand, without the use of industrial molds.

Dimensions and Weight

• Pair of small swans (each piece):
• Height: 11.5 cm
• Width: 10 cm
• Depth: 6 cm
• Weight of the pair: 390 g
• Amber-colored swan with vase:
• Height: 15.5 cm
• Width: 13.5 cm
• Depth: 11 cm
• Weight: 516 g
• Large transparent swan:
• Height: 16 cm
• Width: 16 cm
• Depth: 9 cm
• Weight: 535 g

Excellent vintage condition. The items have no cracks, hairlines, or chips. They may show very light and normal signs of aging or internal air bubbles due to the manual glass-blowing process. The photos attached are an integral and fundamental part of the description of the condition.

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.
