AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Extraordinary and rare hand-carved Murano glass sculpture produced in solid form, depicting a stylized snail, designed by the famous Venetian master Marcello Furlan for the LIP (Vetri per Arredare) manufactory in 1990.
The work is a magnificent example of avant-garde artistic modernity. It stands out for an extremely sinuous and dynamic line that projects the animal's body upward. From a chromatic point of view, the piece plays on strong and refined contrasts: the snail's foot and long neck are made in transparent amber/orange solid glass, topped by two characteristic heat-applied antennas in electric blue glass. The large shell is separately formed by heat into a massive block of emerald-green glass, creating exceptional depth and light refraction.
An authentic high-level collectible work bearing the original signature:
• Autographed: Clearly incised with a diamond-t pointed under the base: "Marcello Furlan '90".
Dimensions:
• Height: 18 cm
• Length (maximum overall): 16.5 cm
• Width/Thickness: about 7-8 cm
Technical details and condition:
• Author / Designer: Marcello Furlan
• Producer / Manufacturer: LIP - Vetri per Arredare (Murano)
• Material: Murano artistic glass (solid-work)
• Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The glass is perfectly intact, free of chips, hairline fractures, scratches, or defects. Maintains a flawless luster and transparency.
