Description
Hand-formed massive Murano art glass goose or duck figurine stands just under 20″ tall and weighs 13 lbs.
The largest Murano art glass goose figurine we’ve seen, and we’ve been looking at vintage glass for over 20 years. It’s almost life-size.
Masterfully made by hand with an elongated intentional stylized interior air bubble running from the tail to just below the head. The solid glass base and bill were hand-formed separately, then applied to the body. Measures 19.5″ Tall, 7″ at widest point, 5″ base.
In excellent condition with heavy bottom wear on base. This architectural size Murano art glass goose weighs 13 lbs. The weight and age combined creates scratching where the seat of the base meets a surface. ‘Bottom-wear’ cannot be seen unless the object is turned upside-down.
Mid-century Italian Murano art glass. Estimated Circa 1940-1960. Maker near certain to be Flavio Poli for Vetreria Seguso. Flavio Poli, famous for his designs using the “Sommerso” technique, was artistic director for Vetreria Seguso from 1937 – 1963. The company closed in 1972
Extremely Rare.
