AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Beautiful hand-blown glass swan in Murano style, executed in the classic Sommerso technique, where multiple layers of color are encapsulated in clear glass.

The piece features a flowing, elegant form with a green neck, amber accents, and a blue base. The wings and body are made of clear glass with subtle color inclusions. It is a decorative object that captures light beautifully and is typical of mid-century Italian art glass.

The sculpture is heavy, solid, and carefully formed, without visible seams — a hallmark of handwork.
Origin: private collection.
No markings present.
