AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This decorative glass sculpture in the shape of an elephant, made of Murano glass, is an elegant and refined artisanal piece, characterized by the deep contrast between amethyst black glass and the brightness of 24 kt gold leaf.
The object is handcrafted in authentic Murano glass. The body is molded in amethyst black glass, a color typical of the Murano tradition that appears deep black and, when held to the light, reveals delicate violet nuances. The solid, rounded forms emphasize its sturdiness and stage presence.
The ears, separately molded, are made with the sunk technique: the 24 kt gold leaf is enclosed within the transparent crystal, creating a depth effect and warm luminous reflections that stand out against the black of the body.
The pairing of the elegance of amethyst black with the brilliance of gold gives the sculpture a precious, timeless character, making each piece unique and original. The elephant, a symbol of strength, wisdom, and good fortune, adds a special meaning to the object.
This elephant is ideal as a decorative element, a collectible item, or a refined gift idea.
This is a piece handcrafted by a master glassmaker on the island of Murano. As with every piece signed by Bottega Isola, it was chosen among the island’s finest creations to offer only authentic, quality Murano.
The work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, attesting to its provenance and originality.

Seller's Story
Hi, I'm the founder of Bottega Isola. I was born and raised on Murano, and glass runs in my family: I grew up around the furnaces, surrounded by a craft my family has carried for generations. I've always been drawn to design and to handmade, one-of-a-kind objects, the kind that make memorable gifts for any occasion. Inspired by many cultures and design styles but rooted in my island's tradition, I create and select pieces that carry the history of Murano glass into today's homes and spaces.
Nothing here is chosen at random. Most designs go through several trials before they're just right, and each one has to bring something to the space it lives in, whether that's purpose, character or atmosphere.
Every piece is handmade on Murano by some of the island's most skilled glass masters, using techniques passed down for centuries. Each one comes with a certificate of authenticity and is carefully hand-packed in professional, glass-safe packaging, so it reaches you safely wherever you are.
