A vibrant and highly decorative Murano glass fish sculpture, hand-blown in clear crystal and infused with swirling ribbons of cobalt blue, ruby red, golden yellow and white glass. The bold spiral pattern radiates from the centre of the body, creating a captivating sense of movement and depth, while the sculptural fins and tail are elegantly formed in clear glass, lending the piece a light and graceful presence.
Showcasing the exceptional artistry and technical virtuosity of Venetian glassmaking, the sculpture reveals changing nuances of colour and reflection as light passes through its layered composition. The dynamic interplay between the vivid bands and transparent crystal gives the work a striking visual rhythm, making it equally compelling from every angle.
Both whimsical and sophisticated, this expressive piece embodies the playful spirit and craftsmanship for which Murano glass is celebrated. Equally suited as a standalone sculptural object or as part of a curated collection, it brings a bold sense of colour and individuality to both contemporary and mid-century interiors.
Murano, Italy, circa 1960s–1970s.
Presented in excellent vintage condition.
