About the Item

Extra-large sculptural fish in Murano art glass by Vincenzo Nason, Italy, circa 1970s. Executed in deep cobalt blue glass, the sculpture features encased gold and silver leaf inclusions, introduced hot into the molten glass and permanently sealed within the mass. This traditional Murano technique creates a rich play of light and depth, enhancing the sculptural quality and luxurious presence of the piece. The stylized ascending form is balanced by clear glass fins and tail, which provide visual lightness and contrast against the saturated blue body. The combination of expressive figurative design, refined craftsmanship, and precious metal inclusions is emblematic of Vincenzo Nason’s production during the second half of the 20th century. Conceived as a decorative sculpture rather than a purely ornamental object, this piece functions as a strong focal point within an interior, whether displayed alone or as part of a curated Murano glass collection. Murano, Italy, circa 1970s.
