Carlo Moretti - Sculpture, La Mela - 10 cm - blown glass

Decorative sculpture in Murano glass by Carlo Moretti, depicting an apple with soft, essential forms, in a bright aquamarine green.

The apple is one of the most recurring subjects in decorative arts and design of the 20th century, reinterpreted by many authors and designers, including Lino Sabattini, and here translated into the clean, refined language of Carlo Moretti’s Murano production from around the 1980s.

The body of transparent glass presents a deliberately streamlined form, completed by the small stem shaped by heating. It retains the original Carlo Moretti label.
