About the Item
Large-Scale Italian Murano Art Glass Clamshell Sculpture, circa 1950
A showstopping example of mid-century Murano glass artistry, this monumental clam shell–form bowl embodies the elegance and drama of Italian decorative arts. Crafted in the 1950s, the piece features a deep black encased glass exterior enveloping a luminous mauve interior — a striking juxtaposition of opacity and color that lends the form extraordinary depth and presence.
Masterfully blown in Murano, the cradle of Venetian glassmaking, this sculptural vessel captures the natural undulation and organic movement of a giant sea shell, rendered with a contemporary sophistication. Its gleaming, high-gloss finish and flawless condition elevate it beyond mere décor — it’s a collectible objet d’art that anchors any interior.
Ideal for coastal-inspired homes or nature-inflected design schemes, this rare piece evokes the serenity and power of the sea. A timeless expression of Murano’s legendary craftsmanship, and a valuable addition to any curated collection.
Presented by MWM DESIGN INTERIORS, purveyors of museum-quality decorative objects, fine furnishings, and exceptional sculptural forms for the most discerning clientele.
