Exclusive Sculpture "Fish" in Murano Glass – La Murrina (1970s)

Refined and original vintage sculpture in the shape of a fish, a substantial collectible piece entirely handmade in Murano artistic glass by the famous La Murrina furnace. The work represents a masterful example of Venetian modernist aesthetics, capable of blending extraordinary artisanal skill with a stylized, clean, and elegant naturalistic design.
Main Features:
• "Block" Design and Material Importance: The sculpture is formed from a solid glass block with a spherical silhouette, equipped with a smooth, flat supporting base. This "block" production gives the object absolute stability, underscoring its high artisanal quality and its impressive stage presence.
• Immersed Technique and Chromia: The compact central body is executed in a vibrant deep turquoise/azure tone, magnificently reflecting the light. The surface, perfectly smooth and glossy, enhances the glass brilliance and the deep saturation of the internal color.
• Hot Applications and Contrasts: The colored spherical body is enriched with elegant hot applications in pure colorless crystal glass. The precious anatomical details, including the prominent rippled mouth, the large sinuous dorsal fin forming a crest, and the pronounced curved tail, were heat-shaped with extreme craftsmanship. The small protruding eyes complete the muzzle’s expressiveness.
• Placement: An iconic piece of Venetian modernism and Mid-Century design, dating from the 1970s. It is ideal for the most discerning collectors of historical art glass or as a lighting accent to enhance design interiors.
