About the Item
Exquisite art glass bird bath on slate base with six removable art glass birds by Walter Furlan for Murano Glass, circa 1960s. This large piece is very difficult to find with six birds. The colors and quality of the piece are amazing! Overall, the piece is in very good vintage condition; there is a small chip on the tail of the blue bird (please see pictures). The bird can be positioned on the back side of the piece making it virtually impossible to see.
The sculpture measures 14.5"D x 14.5"H and all the birds are removable and can be repositioned as you like. Simply a gorgeous work of art! #4269
Walter Furlan was born in 1931 in Chioggia, Italy, a small town near Venice. He started to work with art glass very early in his career and apprenticed for one of the most famous glass masters on the Murano, Romano Tosi, better known as “Mamaracio”. Towards the end of the second world war (1940-1945), Master Walter Furlan learned a particular technique called “a massello” (i.e. how to shape a quantity of glass that was not blown and therefore quite difficult to handle). In 1963, he exhibited his works of art in the official Glass Display on Murano Island sponsored by the Venetian Institute for Work and later on in Arts and Crafts Exhibition in Reggio Calabria. At the beginning of the 70’s, he cooperated with Master Angelo Seguso and designer Mario Pinsoni in the glass factory “Seguso Art Glass” . He studied how to work large and stylized glass and developed his own style.
Furlan was given permission by Picasso himself to interpret his paintings during his Cubic Period thereby giving them a third dimension within his glass sculptures. He was also given license to carry on using his name after Picasso's death in 1973.
