About the Item
This captivating vintage sculpture is a vibrant example of abstract art from the 1980s, skillfully hand-blown on the renowned island of Murano, Italy. The piece depicts an abstract face, rendered in a striking array of colors including bright yellow, deep blue, fiery orange, and rich green, all within a single piece of glass.
The sculpture's body is polychrome, featuring an effervescent quality with embedded air bubbles and a textured, granular surface that catches and reflects light beautifully. It rests on a separate, curved base of iridescent blue and gold-banded glass, which elevates the face and adds to its artistic presence. The design is reminiscent of modernist or cubist styles, with its fragmented and multi-hued features.
This piece is a unique work of art, with no two exactly alike, making it a wonderful find for collectors of Murano glass or those who appreciate unique, handcrafted art. It is in excellent vintage condition with no chips or cracks. It would make a bold and colorful statement on a bookshelf, desk, or as a decorative accent in a contemporary or eclectic setting.
