About the Item
Beautiful, and rare, vintage Murano hand blown, iridescent shrimp aquarium paperweight sculpture. Documented to designer Alfredo Barbini, and it is signed "A. Barbini" underneath. The underside has little felt pads so the bottom does not scratch, preserving the signature. The shrimp figure inside the glass is made with a transparent taupe color, bright red eyes, and fully iridescent / aurene glass. You can see a rainbow of colors on some of the photos. The shrimp is practically 1 to 1 in proportion and extremely detailed. It is as close to anatomically correct as it could get. Would make a great display piece on any side desk or curio cabinet. Or just showcase it as a decorative piece in any room. Late Mid-century era. Collectors item! Measures 3 1/2” tall x 3 1/2” long x 1 7/8” thick.
