This resplendent Murano glass sculpture depicts a fish atop a triangular base in the dazzling full spectrum of the rainbow. With colorful marbled patterns and an elegant form, this aquatic figure is a breathtaking decorative piece, particularly suitable for admirers of coastal or nautical aesthetics.
The remarkable coloration effects visible in this sculpture are the product of the Chalcedony glass technique, a centuries old tradition that involves adding various mineral oxides to glass mixtures fused under high temperatures. Be sure to place this sculpture near a window, where you can observe how these colors shift in the natural light.
This piece was obtained from an estate with a large collection of Murano art glass, most of which is signed by highly renowned chalcedony artist Dino Rosin. Unfortunately I found no signature on this sculpture, but the techniques and subject matter are consistent with Rosin's other work.
