Venetian glass articles occupy a much acclaimed status in the galaxy of glass art. The ancient glass masters of Murano Island lived a life of complete isolation from the rest of the world after the shifting of the industry to Murano from the main Island. At the same time, these highly endowed set of artisans enjoyed a celebrity status in the island which brought out the best in them. So the Murano glass art developed unhindered in the scenic island in the Adrian Sea. The close proximity of the sea encouraged them to draw inspiration from the undulating blue waters around the island. The denizens of the deep were depicted with great panache. The Murano glass marine sculptures are incredibly life- like in their postures. Their wonderfully flexible bodies and fluid movements are replicated without any loss of their natural grace.
This Murano glass sculpture is 17” tall and can be a delightful curio which livens up your room. It depicts two sea turtles swimming in a row apparently one flowing the other. The turtles are of different sizes which tickles your imagination. Is it a mother following her baby or an amorous lover following his lady? The calcedonia technique lends the Murano glass turtle figurines a unique beauty. This Murano glass sculpture is an interesting décor piece which will never fail to draw attention of the visitors. It is also a fabulous gift item.
This is a genuine Murano glass article and its authenticity is ensured
