Mid-century Tear Drop Blue and Purple Murano Sommerso Art Glass Sculpture
About the Item
This Luigi Onesto-style teardrop abstract art glass sculpture is a captivating testament to Venetian craftsmanship, featuring layers of vivid blue and purple glass encased in a crystal-clear outer layer. The sommerso technique is beautifully complemented by the inclusion of controlled bubbles, or bullicante, which appear suspended within the glass, creating a mesmerizing play of light and texture.
The teardrop silhouette enhances the timeless allure of this piece, while the intricate bullicante detailing adds depth and elegance. Perfect as a centerpiece or part of a curated display, this sculpture exudes modern sophistication and Italian artistry.
