Snail Figurine by Nason Murano Art Glass

Murano Art Glass Snail Figurine by Nason

A very appealing slimy snail. Hand formed art glass snail in shades of brown. The very dark brown resedes to light brown, then lightest brown (almost clear). Well-made. All formed from a single gather of glass. This snail was made in Murano Italy by V. Nason & Company. The Nason family has contributed many artists to Italian art glass history. The label that is with another snail like this reads ‘V. Nason C. Made in Murano’. We have seen identical snails with different colors with a yellow oval label which read “Made in Murano”, and another was found with a round red label that reads “Made in Murano Italy”. The V. Nason label dates to after 1989. Please note: The Murano snail offered here does not have a sticker.

Big snail weighs just under 1 lb. Measures 4″ long and 3.5″ tall. Hand-made with combined clear and chestnut brown colored glass. Polished flat base. White spots in the images are due to camera reflection.
