About the Item

This exquisite Mid-Century Modernist spiral bird sculpture, handcrafted in Italy circa 1970, is a remarkable example of Murano glass artistry and design. Signed by the renowned glass maestro Renato Anatra, the piece seamlessly blends refined craftsmanship with the organic elegance of its avian form. Composed of hand-blown white and transparent Murano glass, the sculpture features a mesmerizing spiral design that captures movement and fluidity, evoking the graceful essence of a bird in flight. The striking interplay between the opaque, milky white glass and the translucent clarity of the spiraling body demonstrates the technical ingenuity and artistic sensitivity for which Murano glassmakers are celebrated. The contrasting textures and tonalities create a stunning visual rhythm, while the expertly elongated form embodies a perfect balance of modernist abstraction and natural inspiration. The light refracts beautifully through the transparent portions of the glass, infusing the piece with a luminous vitality that changes throughout the day as light shifts. This sculpture is not only a testament to Renato Anatra’s mastery but also serves as a timeless decorative object, ideal for adding sophistication to a variety of interior spaces. Whether displayed on a mantelpiece, sideboard, or glass shelf, it commands attention as both an artistic focal point and a celebration of Murano’s storied glass traditions. Its graceful contours and refined palette make it versatile enough to complement modern, contemporary, or eclectic décor styles. Signed on the conical support by the artist, this piece is in Excellent Vintage Condition. Italy, Circa 1970 Dimensions: Height: 23" x Width: 9.5" x Depth: 4" Diameter of Base: 4"
