About the Item

Beautiful vintage Murano hand blown Sommerso red amethyst Italian art glass guinea or quail bird sculpture. The piece is attributed to the Salviati company, with Alfredo Barbini the likely designer. The bird a red color which fades from the head, where it is brightest, down to the tail where it has a light amethyst purple color. Believe the term is Ombre, where a color fades into another. The bird also has jet black applied legs, and stands in a thick and heavy clear glass base. Underneath it has a red and silver "Made In Italy - Murano" label. Would make a great decorative piece on any coffee table, credenza or mantel. Mid-century era. Measures: 8 1/2" long x 7 3/4" tall x 4 1/2" wide.

Barbini Murano Ruby Red Gold Flecks Italian Art Glass Bird Sculpture Signed
By Weil Ceramics and Glass, Alfredo Barbini
Located in Clifton Springs, NY
Murano hand blown Italian art glass bird sculpture or figurine features a minimal, restrained palette of dark red and off-white with delicate gold lead, or aventurine, accents. The colored glass is encased in a layer clear glass in sommerso technique, adding depth and complexity to the piece. The bird is sitting on sculptural, rounded base, done in clear glass with gold flecks, elevating it without adding a visually heavy element. The main color is referred to as "Ruby Red" in Weil's catalogue of Alfredo Barbini Murano glass. The piece is marked with the original gold red oval scalloped foil label, “Venetian - Made by Alfredo Barbini for Weil Ceramics and Glass - Murano Italy”, that was in use in 1960s. It is in very good vintage condition, and is ready to be displayed; it would make a great gift to a collector or a design enthusiast and a great display piece on a shelf or a table, and make a perfect addition to a wide range of interiors, from Traditional to Mid Century Modern, Transitional, Collected, or Contemporary. We are offering another Murano glass bird figurine in red and gold colorway, done in similar style, marked with old generic imported Murano glass label, and attributed to Barbini, and Galliano Ferro bird sculpture in blue and gold colorway, that is stylistically similar to both Barbini bird...
