About the Item
Whimsical and bold, this handcrafted glass sculpture captures the joyful energy of mid-century Italian glass art. The figure’s face, composed of expressive red lips, raised arms, and playful features, emerges through a dynamic blend of molten amber, ruby, and cobalt hues. Intricate surface textures and crackle effects enhance the piece’s depth and tactile presence, while its tripod base lends it an animated, almost dance-like stance.
Both humorous and elegant, this sculptural vessel reflects a mastery of glassblowing technique and color fusion — a true conversation piece that embodies the surreal charm of postmodern design.
Material: Handblown glass
Colors: Amber, ruby red, cobalt blue, and gold crackle accents
Condition: Excellent condition with very light wear consistent with age
Attribution: Likely Murano school, unsigned
