AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Refined object of art and collection that celebrates the mastery of Italian craftsmanship, uniting in a single piece two of the most prestigious and historic artisanal traditions of our country: Murano glassmaking and the art of silversmithing.
The turtle's body is entirely handmade by the Venetian glassmasters. The shell stands out for an intense cobalt blue coloration, characterized by a deep transparency that captures light and returns unique reflections from every angle.
On the shell we can find in Murano glass authentic murrine, small masterpieces of geometric precision that testify to the complex and centuries-old technique of Murano cane-working.
To contrast the warm vibrancy of the glass, the head and base of the sculpture are finely crafted in polished silver. The metal fusion embraces the glass body, creating a harmonious union between the gleaming solidity of silver and the delicacy of Murano glass.
