Pair of purple Murano glass sculptures depicting a cat and a mouse, 1980s. They exemplify the fusion of art and craftsmanship synonymous with Murano glassmaking traditions. Created in the 1980s, these pieces showcase contemporary interpretations of classical forms through a modernist lens. Made on the Venetian island of Murano, renowned for its glassmaking tradition, these figures boast vibrant purple hues that embody the artistry and craftsmanship of the glassmakers. The rich purple color, achieved through the addition of mineral oxides to the molten glass, gives the figures a sense of opulence and sophistication. The cat and mouse figures feature elegant, minimalist lines that capture the essence of modernist design. The cat has elongated curves and subtle contours, evoking a sense of grace and balance; the mouse features a round shape and playful gestures, which capture his whimsical nature. The juxtaposition of the cat and mouse reflects the duality of their relationship, creating a narrative that transcends mere decorative objects.
