About the Item

Hand-formed with a tall S-curved neck and a long, tapering tail, this glass bird sculpture stands on an organic clear tripod base. The head is finished with an applied clear glass crest sweeping backwards above small pulled glass eyes and an elongated, horizontal beak, giving the figure the poised profile of a wading heron. The body is worked in the Venetian sommerso technique, submerging saturated coloured glass beneath a heavy layer of clear crystal. A core of vibrant pink sits alongside rich cobalt blue, creating two distinct colour bands that run seamlessly from the upper neck down through the flanks. When illuminated, the thick clear outer casing acts as a prism, refracting light across the curved torso. Below the coloured body, the glass transitions into a clear, solid stem that branches into three pointed feet, shaped by hand while the glass was molten. Affixed to the upper part of the clear base is an intact circular red foil label printed with 'MADE IN Murano ITALY' in gold lettering. Dating to the 1960s, the figure measures 42 cm in height and demonstrates the refined sculptural work and bold palette associated with mid-century Italian decorative glass. Compact details: - Model: Stylised heron or wading bird sculpture - Method: Hand-blown and tool-worked sommerso glass - Mark: Original foil label to stem ('MADE IN Murano ITALY') - Height: 42 cm We ship internationally, tracked.
