Big Vintage Murano Art Glass Sommerso Goose Sculpture
Beautiful relic of mid-century modernist Italian glass art. Made in mid 20th Century Italy (Isle of Murano). This beautiful style is most often attributed to Seguso or Flavio Poli design.
Hand-blown in the sommerso technique. Light aqua blue, cobalt blue and clear glass blown together. Hand-worked and applied feet and bill have gold fleck aventurine inside the glass. Stunning color combination looks liquid.
Big duck /goose stands 12.25″ tall and weighs 3.5 lbs. Beautiful coloring, exceptional quality. One ‘toe’ (second from the left in image 5) has a small smooth sliver off the tip that cannot be seen from the top. It is very small, smooth and invisible unless studied closely. Otherwise, in excellent condition.
Made in the 1950’s-1960’s. Exceptional colors. Big and Beautiful. Very well-made.
