Murano Style Art Glass Penguin Sculpture, Circa 1970s / 1980s
A vibrant and expressive hand blown art glass penguin sculpture in the Murano tradition, crafted circa the 1970s / 1980s. This striking piece captures the bold form of a penguin through a masterful arrangement of colored glass flowing blues, turquoise, greens, warm amber, deep black, and vivid red come together in a composition that is as sculptural as it is decorative.
Standing at 26 cm, the piece carries a satisfying heft of approximately 2 kg, testament to the quality and density of the glass used. The hand worked technique is evident in the fluid, organic shaping of each element, reflecting the skill of a trained glassblower working in the Murano style.
