Description

A hand-fashioned art glass bowl or dish in the form of a stylised swan, attributed to the mid-century Venetian aesthetic of Murano. The piece is constructed using the sommerso technique, featuring a graduated colour palette that transitions from a deep ruby-red base through amber into a smoky olive-green upper body and neck. The head is finished with a clear glass beak containing fine gold-flecked aventurine internal decoration. The underside features a ground and polished circular depression at the pontil mark. There are no visible maker marks, signatures, or labels present on the item.

Height: 230mm
Width: 200mm.
