About the Item
Striking Italian Murano art glass penguin sculpture produced by Vetreria Artistica Oball Murano. This elegant Mid-Century Modern figure is hand-blown in heavy clear glass with expressive swirls of amber, honey yellow, soft pink, and milky white tones, contrasted by a deep black glass back. The sculptural form is beautifully balanced, with smoothly modeled wings, delicately shaped feet, and a refined beak, showcasing the exceptional craftsmanship of Murano glassmakers.
The fluid internal color movement creates a sense of depth and motion, making this penguin an eye-catching decorative object from every angle. A fine example of Italian studio art glass, ideal for collectors of Murano glass, animal sculptures, and Mid-Century Modern design. Perfect as a standalone statement piece or as part of a curated art glass collection.

Luigi Onesto
Luigi Onesto was born in Murano into a glass-making family. At the age of 15, he began to learn the secrets of glass as an apprentice at Gambaro Poggi, one of the oldest and most famous glass factories on the island. In 1978, he established his glass art studio, the Vetreria Artistica Oball. Onesto’s elegant vessels, bottles and objects are created by the technique called sommerso, which incorporates layers of different colors.
