Description from the seller
The Dachshund: Iridescent Elegance in Murano Glass
The Soul of Glass, the Faithfulness of Form
Born from the technical mastery of Master Fabio Tagliapietra, this dachshund is not just a sculpture, but a play of reflections and transparencies that captures the vibrant essence of one of the most beloved breeds. Each piece is a unique work, fully hand-shaped through freehand lampworking, where the flame transforms raw material into pure visual emotion.
Technical and Stylistic Details:
● Color Technique: The body features spectacular iridescent gradients ranging from warm amber to cobalt blue, creating a visual dynamism that shifts with the ambient light.
● Sculptural Base: The figure rests on a solid polished black glass base, designed to enhance color contrasts and lend stability and significance to the piece.
● Artistic Expressiveness: The details, from the long, sinuous ears to the slender tail, attest to the Master’s meticulous attention to proportions, giving the subject a noble yet playful character.
A Collectible Piece
Perfect for those seeking the authenticity of true Venetian craftsmanship, far from industrial production. This creation represents the ideal balance between contemporary luxury and millennia-old tradition, making it a refined decor element or a gift of inestimable symbolic value.
