Arte Muranese - Sculpture, Delfino su sfera - 16 cm - Murano glass

This refined Murano art glass sculpture depicts a graceful, dynamic dolphin captured in an arched pose, as if performing an elegant leap. The piece showcases the excellence and craftsmanship of Murano glassmakers, skillfully combining a hand-shaped body in nuanced shades of turquoise and warm amber with a sturdy, clear spherical base. The base is embellished with the classic, elegant controlled air-bubble technique (bullicante), characteristic of the Venetian lagoon tradition, lending the piece exceptional luminosity and three-dimensional depth. The glass surface, perfectly smooth and crisp, refracts the light to create striking plays of color and highlight the anatomical details of the fins. A highly captivating piece with strong decorative appeal, ideal for enhancing collections devoted to vintage Murano art glass.
