SILVER Seller in Novara, Italia
Fascinating vintage sculpture in authentic hand-blown and molded Murano glass, depicting a clown with an umbrella, dating back to the 1960s and 1970s. This vibrant and complex work of glass art showcases the exceptional craftsmanship of Murano glassmakers. The figure is rich in sculptural and chromatic detail: the bell-shaped body features a series of decorative buttons made of hot-applied round murrine, while the hands and cuffs, crafted in speckled shades (with colored pigment inclusions in the white glass), hold a distinctive matching umbrella. The head features textured yellow hair in a bow, a two-tone hat, and the classic expressive facial features in applied glass paste, complemented by shiny black shoes at the base. Technical details and workmanship: Technique: Murano artistic glass, freehand, both solid and blown, with hot-applied murrine, glass threads, and individually modeled details. Period: 1960s - 1970s (Italian Mid-Century) Origin: Murano, Venice (Italy) Condition: Excellent vintage condition. Please note that the natural irregularities and wavy finish of the hand tips and decorative details are intrinsic structural characteristics of the artistic hot-applied craftsmanship of the period and do not constitute defects or damage.
