About the Item
This enchanting avian sculpture is a superlative example of mid-century Venetian glass artistry, handcrafted in the 1960s by the esteemed furnace of Gino Cenedese. Exemplifying the whimsical yet sophisticated spirit of Post-War Italian design, this duck is rendered in a rare Satinato (frosted) finish, transforming the glass into a vessel of soft, ethereal light.
The sculpture is defined by a masterful sfumato technique, where the glass transitions seamlessly from a saturated, Mediterranean cerulean at the crown and neck into a misty, translucent aquatic blue through the body. The acid-etched surface provides a velvet-like matte texture that invites the touch, diffusing light across its curves rather than reflecting it. This creates a serene, glowing presence that changes depth depending on the hour of the day.
The duck is poised atop a crystalline, frosted base—suggestive of a smoothed river stone—lending the piece a balanced, organic silhouette. It is a testament to the Cenedese studio’s ability to marry technical rigor with the soulful, figurative charm that defined the golden age of Murano glass.
A rare find for the discerning collector, the underside of the piece retains its full suite of original archival markings, including the blue-and-silver Cenedese Vetri foil label and the hand-inscribed studio signature. Such intact labeling is a hallmark of authenticity and significantly enhances its investment value.
