About the Item
A rare and emotionally resonant glass sculpture by legendary Murano master Pino Signoretto (Italian, 1944–2017), depicting a stylized womb cradling a fetal figure. Meticulously hand-sculpted in Murano glass, this monumental piece features a layered composition: a textured clear outer form encasing a dramatic inner core in pink and deep red hues, symbolizing the female form and the mystery of gestation.
At the heart of the piece lies a detailed fetus in rich ruby red glass, curled in a vulnerable pose—an arresting meditation on life, creation, and the human form. The sculpture is mounted on a cylindrical solid black marble base and is signed by the artist along the edge.
Known for his unparalleled craftsmanship and emotional depth, Pino Signoretto brought sculptural discipline to hot glass, working with icons like Dale Chihuly and Salvador Dalí. This piece is a museum-quality example of his later symbolic works and is highly collectible.
