AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful miniature vintage Murano-style art glass fish, possibly attributable to Archimede Seguso, dating to the mid-20th century.
Measuring approximately 9 cm tall and 11 cm long, this charming sculpture features an elegant, abstract design with a dramatically curved tail and delicate fins. The glass transitions beautifully from smoky charcoal gray to soft, opaque milky white, creating a striking two-tone effect.
The underside displays a pontil mark, consistent with traditional hand-worked glassmaking techniques. This feature suggests artisanal production.
The design and coloration are reminiscent of glass animals produced by Murano workshops during the 1950s–1970s, particularly examples associated with Archimede Seguso.
